In this episode Scott reads from and discusses two books: The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell & John Gray; and Fatherless America by David Blankenhorn.
- Describe your family dynamic growing up. Who was most influential in your life?
- How is the health of your relationship with your dad? What has caused it to be that way?
- “The Boy Crisis” reveals that dads are important because, when sons see their dads, they see who they can become. What future are you modeling for your kids?
- Dad-deprived kids are more likely to suffer in many areas: Grades and awards, skipping school, expulsion from school, not finishing school, joining gangs, suicide rates, drug use, homelessness, sexual abuse and victimization, and much more. Dad-deprived kids are less likely to be employed, get married, stay married, be a good dad themselves. How are you contributing to this trend? How are you contributing to the solution?
- How are you intentionally investing in your wife? How are you pursuing her? What rhythms do you have in place to practice a healthy relationship?
- What can you do to invest in kids without fathers?
