  • In the lead up to Fathers Day, Dr. Warren Farrell reminds us of the importance of fathers being actively involved in the lives of children, particularly with their boys.
    The research of Dr. Farrell and 'The Boy Crisis' co-author John Gray shows that present fathers are vital for setting healthy boundaries, channeling testosterone in a positive manner and, among many other beneficial outcomes, maximising academic performance.

    "family dinner nightmare" sounds like my childhood. This man is so right. Jordan Peterson first got me onto this idea of good fathers & boundaries & this furthers that

    I was privilege to have a great father . Strong dutchman who took his honeymoon to Canada and never left. He was awesome to my mom and brother and me , we came first and it showed. Some of the best years of my life were painting with him in the summer although I didnt realize it fully then. Man I miss that guy.

    Suddenly, my inability to complete projects and distract myself so easily makes sense. Short term gratification expectancy is a real problem. That coupled with imposter syndrome when pursuing any goal I feel I'm lesser than sends me spiraling into a depression that I can only numb with mindless CZcams content. I've wasted years sitting here trying to ignore the feeling that I don't belong in this world. My fear of failiure is so strong that I never take a chance on me. Nobody else ever did.

    Not with me, it didn't! ..LOL I was a single mum so I had to be both parents while raising my daughter. I was the disciplinarian and always stuck to my guns. Unfortunately, I ended up being the bad guy. My daughter always got carte blanche from her father during visits and even now as an adult. No boundaries were ever set by her father. One thing you may have to consider is that some absent fathers try to make up for their lack of parenting by giving in to every whim of their child's as compensation for not having been there. This gives the wrong message and encourages the child to play off the parents against each other.

      To be fair to him, he did say it could be either a male or female parent acting as “dad”
      Well done to you though, bringing up children is hard enough, with a cooperative partner.

You're right about the emotional damage this inflicts on daughters because I've seen it in my own daughter, but your mission now is to put that bitter experience behind you and look forward.

    What a great channel with a charming, educated host and interesting guests. You have risen the intellectual bar John! I agree 100%. It follows that in order for a child to have a healthy upbringing, it needs both a father *and* a mother. Regardless of what the minute but influencial identiterians try to impose to the rest of us normal people. These are the toxic agents trying to divide our (Western) society and we should protect our children from them.

    The father's role in the home and the family unit - and society in general - is SO important.
    It's why Marxist 101 had to take out fathers first.
    Without strong fathers, boys are rudderless. And most will become rudderless adults.

    I just realized that this is another example about how men sacrifice for their families. Men want to do the same thing as mothers, they feel the same as mothers, the difference is they know they have to enforce those boundaries and so that's what they do. There's also the time that it takes to enforce some boundaries. Saying something like we're not leaving to go do something fun until you finish your peas and then actually enforcing it 8 time that could have been spent doing something else.

    I don't see the importance of fatherhood. I always wondered what's the importance of fathers in a child's life. I can see why mothers are important. Women are socially and biologically programmed to be parents much more strongly than men are. Mothers are the ones that produce milk to feed to their babies. Also, mothers are the ones that are usually in charge of their babies, and they assume that role early on. Also, women have "maternal instinct", while men don't have anything like that. And also, children usually spend a lot more time with their mothers than they do with their fathers, and during that time, the mothers are usually taking care of the children.

    Also, most animals in this world are only taken care by their mothers and they don't have their fathers around at all. So why are human fathers important? It seems that a child can grow up without a father, and still turn out ok.

      Why? It's mostly the State's fault that families have devolved so why not fix that part of it? Simple things like mandatory sentencing laws for stupid minor crimes, rather than dealing with the root of the problem, which is in turn exposing people to jail culture, then rather than fixing them it leads to high recidivism and the cycle continues.

    Don't worry, you're not missing anything. Father's are unnecessary. Even when they're there, they're not really there.
