In Australia, Father's Day is little over a week away. While some feel that the importance of Father's Day limps along behind the splash of Mother's Day, it remains a wonderful opportunity to encourage and thank fathers for their involvement in the lives of their children. And fathers certainly are an integral part of family life.
You have no doubt read many sources listing the positive impact involved fathers produce in their kids. Indeed, family scholars the world over have produced a large body of evidence from thousands of independent studies on the important contribution that fathers make to children and to the success of the family unit. Consider: Children with involved fathers are more confident, better able to deal with frustration, better able to gain independence and their own identity, more likely to mature into compassionate adults, more likely to have a high self esteem, more sociable, more secure as infants, less likely to show signs of depression, less likely to commit suicide, more empathetic, boys have been shown to be less aggressive and adolescent girls are less likely to engage in sex.
So.. what will you do in your area of children's ministry for dads, this Father's Day?
