Dr. John H. Braccio talks with Dave Akerly on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 1/24/17 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan about silifke escort numaraları THE CRITICAL ROLE OF FATHERS IN THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR CHILDREN. The lack of fathers in the lives of many millions of children in our country is a national tragedy if not a disgrace. While not disparaging single mothers or blended families, Dr. Braccio states his belief that an effective father is very important for the social, intellectual, academic, moral, self-esteem, and sexual identity development of both boys and girls. The breakdown of the nuclear family without fathers over the past fifty years has resulted in many aimless youth without education and resulting career opportunities. We see the result of fatherless homes with so many unsocialized males who lack a father and/or strong male role model. The relationship of children with their father can strongly determine the success of their future relationships with all persons. This can be particularly helpful with the opposite sex where divorce is an epidemic
