Men of today must be free to feel. Whether absent or present, fathers are important in the lives of their children. Men's loving energies nurture, validate, and empower. Fathers who exercise these energies strengthen their children-emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Men of feelings model for a healthier society.
Fathers can own their own feelings.
When Dad chooses constructive outlets to deal with both negative and positive emotions, he sketches a blueprint for the child. Dad can choose his behavior. He can respond after thinking rather than just reacting. Dad's behavior programs his children to respond in a similar way. Also, Dad can create a warm atmosphere for conversation.
