I love the quote you choose from Aisha Ray! I think it is very important to get father's involved in the child's life. It will benefit the child greatly with both parents involved!
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose to include a quote from Aisha about fathers and their involvement. So much of the time mothers are the topic and it is important to encourage, educate and support fathers as well. I for one had a wonderful involved father and am now married to one who is as involved with my children and I see the importance and difference it makes; we each have our own gifts we share with our children and they need both of us if possible!
ReplyDeleteKim- I especially liked the quote from Aisha Ray because to tips a hat to the importance of fathers in a child's life. I have been doing a great deal of reaseach into the importance of men in the lives of young children and have been really impressed by the different kind of influence a man can have on young children.
