Dads' World

Being a dad is a big job.  You're like a hero to your child and there's no time off.  They want you there to steady their bike, help them with homework, play football, read stories and make them laugh.

The more you are there for your kids, the better it is for them.  If you're involved, children are more likely to stay out of trouble with the police, leave drugs alone, and do better at school.  They're also more likey to get on well with their parents in their teens and end up in a happy relationship when they're older.

From How to become a more involved dad by Parent Know How and Fathers Direct

Here are some web sites and publications that might really help.
