Fatherhood Parenting

Fatherhood today is far different from previous generations. Stay-at-home dads are increasingly common, and growing numbers of men are working part-time or flextime schedules to spend more time with their children. Dads today are more emotionally and physically involved on the home front. They are "all in", and - like mothers - they are struggling with work-life balance and doing it all.

One thousand women were asked one bold question. What must a dad do, be, or say to raise a confident, successful daughter in today's society?

Being a parent is an extraordinary journey filled with moments of joy, love, and growth. It is about nurturing and guiding a child while also growing as an individual.

Above all, being a parent is a profound transformation, shaping both the child and the parent in beautiful and unexpected ways.

Moving back and forth in time from that day, Riding with the Ghost captures the past's power to shape, strengthen, and distort our visions of ourselves and each other.

Let’s face it - fatherhood doesn’t come naturally to all dudes. To make matters worse, most resources are focused on moms-to-be.
