FATHER AND CHILD REUNION:
How To Bring The Dads We Need To The Children We Love
(NY: Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam; January, 2001)
by WARREN FARRELL, PH.D. |
What is Father and Child Reunion About?
| "Just as the last third of the
20th century was about creating equal opportunity for women as workers, so the first third
of the 21st century will be about creating equal opportunity for men as parents. Neither
goal will be achieved until both goals are achieved." |
--From Father
and Child Reunion |
Based on thirteen years of research,
FATHER AND CHILD REUNION: How To Bring The Dads We Need To The
Children We Love (a Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam Book; January 2, 2001; $24.95
U.S./$34.99 Canada) will force a re-examination of the circumstances in which a dad or a
mom is best for children. For starters, some findings on children with single
parents
.
- 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.
| What family structures
are most likely to be in the child's best interests? Dr. Farrell's findings suggest the
following ranking: |
|
(1) the intact
family; |
|
(2) shared
parent-time(joint physical custody); |
|
(3) primary father
time; |
|
(4) primary mother
time. |
While the intact family is the
winner, Father and Child Reunion makes it clear why, if divorce cannot be
prevented, children being primarily with their dads gives children more of both
parents than when they are primarily with their mothers; reduces a mother's
economic dependency on a man, and reduces men's ten times greater suicide rate after
divorce.
Does Dr. Farrell conclude, then,
that men are better at fathering than women are at mothering? No. But he does conclude
that we have been waging a "War Against Fathers" - and mothers and
children are among the losers.
Father and Child Reunion
answers questions relevant to every family:
- Exactly what do fathers do with
children that's different from what mothers do?
- When does the focus on the best
interests of the child become in the worst interests of the child?
- Why there is both a mothering
instinct and a fathering instinct. Why they operate in different ways. How current
parenting methods and government policies are destroying the fathering instinct.
- What is the impact of a stepfather? A
stepmother?
- What is the long-term impact of
moving the child away from the parent it does not live with?
Father and Child Reunion
is about what it will take to make fathers full and equal partners in the family. It will
take:
- Men's ABC Rights. And
Responsibilities. See chapter 6 for a powerful argument as to how we are unwittingly
preventing fathers from taking equal responsibility for children by denying them equal ABC
Rights -- in the areas of Abortion, Birth control, and Childcare.
- Eliminating "Taxation Without
Representation." When a father is "taxed" to pay for children he can
rarely see, never see, was never informed he had, is tricked into fathering, or who have
been fathered by another man, he is experiencing "Taxation Without
Representation." Taxation without representation creates revolutions, not families.
- Ending the "War Against
Fathers." The US government spends 340 times as much getting fathers to pay child
support as it does to prevent mothers from denying fathers access to their children. Yet
fathers who see their children pay for their children.
- Confronting the "Father's
Catch-22." Fathers have learned to express love to their family by being away
from the family they love.
- Re-examining the attitude behind
our vocabulary. "Visitation": Isn't that for criminals? "Child
support": Isn't that more than money? "Child abuse": Is denial of a child's
access to the other parent child abuse? Is badmouthing of the absent parent? Is a false
accusation of the other parent made in the heat of a custody battle?
More than half of Father and
Child Reunion is about such solutions. Radical solutions. Solutions that transcend
disciplines.
