There are no perfect fathers, just loving fathers: Fathers who stop the world for their children's happiness, Fathers who motivate their children to achieve amazing things, Fathers who are there for their children no matter what (A bank used this as their Father's day greeting and it resonated so much). Truth, we maybe don't appreciate fathers as much as we really need too. The role of a father is always changing in our modern world. What exactly does it mean to be a dad? The art of fatherhood is evolving as society and the traditional family changes. Today's families are increasingly more diverse, including single parent families, blended families, same gender parents, unmarried parents, and multi-generational families. Over the past three decades, societal changes including the rise in numbers of women working outside the home, escalating divorce rates, remarriages, and blended families are causing shifts in both maternal and paternal roles. Changes in parenting styles have given men more options for responding to obligations as fathers, husbands or partners. Today's dad is less likely to automatically rely on his own childhood experiences for fatherhood guidance. With the constantly changing roles of dads, what worked well for his father 30 years ago, may not work at all with the complex and varied challenges modern fathers face.
