You can tell it is getting close to Father’s Day when more and more articles about fathering start appearing in the press.
A article in the Indianapolis Star reports on a recent government study on fathering and how better parenting skills are linked to education.
The article mentions several interesting statistics such as the fact that “32 percent of more educated men read to their kids daily, compared with about 20 percent of less educated men. About 79 percent of the more educated fathers regularly eat meals with their children, as opposed to 70 percent of those with less education.”
And this amazing statistic, “nearly half of those without a high school education have fathered a child outside of marriage compared with about 6 percent of college graduates.”
