Honoring Responsible Fatherhood |
|
The Inestimable Value of Responsible Fathering By Ken Canfield The economics of fathering, more specifically fatherlessness, is a topic that has received no small attention.1 Recent data estimates a figure of 100 Billion dollars annually as the cost of fatherlessness.2 This a significant sum, but does that cost include the staggering emotional, moral and “loss of potential” costs that plague a child when they don’t have a dad? Certainly not, and it likely doesn’t get close. Conservatively, twenty five million children under the age of 18 don’t live with their dad.3 Add to that the number of children who live with their dad, but aren’t connected to him relationally, emotionally, psychologically or spiritually. I’d say that’s a much clearer picture of the true costs of fatherlessness. On the national scale our federal deficit is paralleled by our “fathering deficit.” If we have trillions of dollars borrowed to underwrite our federal deficit, how much are we in arrears for the loss of potential that a generation of fathers have failed to invest, to help their children or their children’s children succeed? It has to be a big number, maybe in the tens of trillions. |
