When the best role model isn’t even a person
The following commentary demonstrates the role a father plays in the life of his child. Mr. Donaldson may not even be aware of just how insightful his article truly is. CFOC provides media support to MDHR (MD Dept. of Human Resources) for its unique grant from the Federal HHS designed to connect fathers with their young kids. The Strong Fathers/Strong Families pilot program in Baltimore has as its goal helping fathers be more active and positive in the lives of their kids, whether or not they are living in the same household. This practical approach offers fathers a hands-on opportunity to learn skills and embrace their responsibilities, through seminars taught for parenting duties and job placement techniques in multi-hour sessions by MDHR and Private Specialists. Let’s hope we are on the right track.
