This book is must reading for every American that is concerned about the health and happiness of our children. It should be required reading for every reporter, politician and policy maker. Dr. Farrell shows conclusively that children do better with single fathers than with single mothers. Both boys and girls are healthier and do better psychologically and academically, as well as socially. Even characteristics such as empathy are exhibited more by children brought up by single fathers.
Single fathers experience less stress juggling children and work than do single mothers.
With the large number of marriages ending in divorce, the problem of what to do about the children becomes very important. In most courts it is the mother who receives sole physical custody of the children.
