Book Reviews of Daughters and Dads: Building a Lasting Relationship
Book Review: Dads Matter!!! Dan Quayle was right.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you subscribe to the Feminist Anthem Rebel Yell (I am a Ms. magazine reader and love Gloria Steinem) ... dads matter no matter how into women's rights you are. I would never have mastered the alphabet, multiplication tables, demonstrated my intellectual capabilities, and watched my back well in every major city I have ever been in, had it not been for the overbearing traditional attitude of my father. It felt like having a personal security guard 24/7 growing up, but it was much better than not...
This book tells why... and so do the statistics:
Fatherly influence. Children with fathers at home tend to do better in school, are less prone to depression and are more successful in relationships. Children from one-parent families achieve less and get into trouble more than children from two parent families.

Kettering Foundation, Arlington, VA., 1980
Act now, pay later: "Children from mother-only families have less of an ability to delay gratification and poorer impulse control (that is, control over anger and sexual gratification.) These children also have a weaker sense of conscience or sense of right and wrong."

A myriad of maladies. Fatherless children are at a dramatically greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, suicide, poor educational performance, teen pregnancy, and criminality.

Emotional distress. Children living with a never-married mother are more likely to have been treated for emotional problems.
Source: L. Remez, "Children Who Don't Live with Both Parents Face Behavioral Problems," Family Planning Perspectives (January/February 1992).
Uncooperative kids. Children reared by a divorced or never-married mother are less cooperative and score lower on tests of intelligence than children reared in intact families. Statistical analysis of the behavior and intelligence of these children revealed "significant detrimental effects" of living in a female-headed household. Growing up in a female-headed household remained a statistical predictor of behavior problems even after adjusting for differences in family income.

Unstable families, unstable lives. Compared to peers in two-parent homes, black children in single-parent households are more likely to engage in troublesome behavior, and perform poorly in school.
