Misconception #1: Raising children is women's work
Fact: Without fathers, most children lack the support, guidance, and discipline required to deal with life outside and within the family
![Page 14: 1 Being a Father, 4 Times a Day. 2 Malachi 4:5-6 Deuteronomy 6:4-7 Psalms 68:5](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e605503460f94b5b604/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Misconception #2: Girls do not need their father
Research shows: Girls with active and hardworking dads are more ambitious, more successful in school, attend college more often, and are more likely to attain careers of their own.

Misconception #3: Small children do not need their father’s influence and that the dad can just step in when the kids are older
Fact: If a man waits until his son or daughter is older, the child probably will resent Dad's lack of previous involvement, will have become over-dependent on Mom, and will show little interest in Dad's favored activities, opinions, or suggestions.
