Dad is not only a title it’s an honorable position. I first became a father in the spring of 2001. I was really just a kid myself looking back on the reality of that situation, 20 years old and scared to death when that little girl emerged into my world. She was beautiful just like her momma and she had me wrapped around her finger from that moment on.
My name is Jeff, I have 3 children at this juncture of my life, ranging from age 6 to 20. I’ve also worked with literally thousands of troubled youth and families over the past 10 years in the Juvenile justice court system. I’ve learned a few things along this journey and still learning everyday about the importance fathers have in the lives of their children. This blog is not intended to take away from the importance of motherhood because that in itself is just as important and honorable in the raising of young lives. Instead this blog is being directed to men and the issues I’ve encountered with fatherless homes. I want this blog to be a encouraging, informative place for men wanting to be better fathers and for parents seeking advice about parenting.
