The Duties Of Dads: The Changing Roles Of Fathers In America
Published 9 years, 4 months ago
Description
Traditionally, fathers are still expected to be the breadwinners, the disciplinarians and the heads of households. But families and gender roles are evolving, and new fathers are looking to become more nurturing caregivers than the generations who came before. We discuss fatherhood in America today, along with new studies on postpartum depression in fathers, the importance of prenatal care for both moms and dads, and how Millennials are approaching fatherhood. Guests: Dr. Ray Levy, founder and executive director of The Fatherhood Project; Dr. Michael Yogman, pediatrician of 20 years and assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School; and Charles Daniels, CEO and founder of Fathers Uplift.
