Hero: Being the Strong Father Your Children Need with Dr. Meg Meeker – EP 143
This week in the Dad Spotlight we are bringing you Dr. Meg Meeker, a leading authority on parenting, teens and children’s health. Her new book Hero: Being the Strong Father Your Children Need celebrates and encourages the role of fatherhood. In this book Dr. Meg Meeker examines the true value of fathers and their relationships with their children, showing men how being a strong, active father can be their greatest triumph.
“There’s a misconception that mothers are the center of a child’s world. Moms are absolutely necessary, but so are dads…” – Dr. Meg Meeker
“Fathers need to see themselves the way their children see them,” writes Meeker. “You are, whether you know it or not, the center of their world, the hub of the wheel that is your family, the hero they depend on. If you’re not there or not engaged, they suffer.” Citing academic research that supports her case for involved, active fathers, Meeker combines her years of wisdom gained during pediatric practice and family counseling with personal stories and practical advice to help fathers understand and embrace the weight of their role in the life of their child and empower them to wholeheartedly engage.
“There’s a misconception that mothers are the center of a child’s world…Moms are absolutely necessary, but so are dads, and to kids it is dads who are the center of the family. Mom might bend a sympathetic ear or bandage a scraped knee, but dad is the one they want to look up to as the hero who can meet any challenge thrown at the family.”
