Category: Family & Parenting, Identity & The Self
Fathers are the least understood figures in child development, and Armand DiMele and Dr. Kent Robertshaw, MD, Psychiatrist, dig into why. They trace how absent or emotionally unavailable dads shape children’s self-esteem, how puberty fractures father-daughter bonds, and why men are socialized to convert sadness into anger rather than seek help.
