According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 25% of American kids live without a father or father-like figure in their homes. You heard that right. On average, 1 out of every 4 kids doesn’t have a dad to give them piggyback rides, help them with homework, or tuck them into bed at night. That’s tragic!
If you have the privilege of being a dad, make sure to be there for your kids. Don’t just live in your house. Make that house a home where smiles abound, and laughter is loud.
And if you know a boy who doesn’t have a father who’s around, include him in activities with you and your son. Your actions may be small, but they just might make a world of difference to a lonely kid.
