What are some of the special challenges that fathers face?
Media, lack of role models, complexities of the modern economy have all pulled fathers away from family involvement and introduced pressures that put todays fathers who want it all, in a fix. The 21st century father is facing a host of challenges, not of his own making. He is encouraged to work harder and longer in order to provide for his family which it is getting harder and harder to do. Some fathers feel that this is incompatible with being an involved father. And many men are not even aware that there is a problem. The ones that are aware have few places to turn, though fortunately, that is beginning to shift.
