By court order, 30 percent of fathers live apart from their children and they do not get to see the school portrait order form that teachers put in their students’ backpacks. And if all men were to glance at the faces of their children every time they open their wallets, maybe they would think of their children more often. Children with highly involved fathers receive higher grades, enjoy school more and have higher educational outcomes… show an increase in curiosity and in problem-solving capacity… have increased mental dexterity, increased empathy and greater self-control.
