However, it is impossible to comprehend the growing danger to children without even acknowledging the subsequent spate of domestic violence against Americans. Fathers and mothers have experienced special difficulties, and influential cultural and economic forces have put pressure on marriage as a whole. It’s worthwhile to look at the situation of fathers in certain and how caring loss has contributed to the current crisis with Father’s Day just past us.
There should be no denying that a problems exists. By any estimate, America’s children now are struggling. Intellectually, students have never been in worse shape — according to the National Assessment for Educational Progress, in 2022 just 36 % of third- graders were proficient in math and only 33 % may read at grade levels.  ,
A serious mental health issue affects our children. The number of kids on anti- opioids grew by over 40 % from 2015 to 2021, and adolescent deaths increased by 62 % from 2007 to 2021.
From the development of smartphones and social media to the disappointment of state-run education and destructive influences in popular culture, there are many reasons why children are today’s kids.

Fathers have not been as involved in their children’s protection as they should have. And as a result, everyone has been in a crisis.  ,
About one in four National children were living alone in a house in 2022. Unfortunately, social science is aware of how bad this can be for children. Growing up in a childless household is more likely to have mental health issues and be addicted to drugs. They have a higher risk of dropping out of high school and do less also there. They are also more likely to be in jail and commit crimes.

On the monetary before, for example, being the father for a home has never been harder. Most Americans ca n’t support a spouse and their children on a single income due to stagnant wages and skyrocketing inflation. With over 70 % of mothers currently employed, compared to less than 50 % in 1975, this has led to the dreaded two-income trap for many families. Guys, whose participation in the labor force just hit a traditional small, have been particularly affected by the loss of good-paying, blue-collar jobs and other latest economic changes.

There is much we can do to make life easier for parents — and, truly, both families. Surprisingly, some of our country’s more sincere leaders are starting to demand this.
However, parents must also be willing to assume personal responsibility for their people. Every dad has a sincere duty to make a sacrifice for and for his children, according to the facts. While this may certainly involve some challenges, it is also what makes parenthood fulfilling. And it will eventually become necessary to address the problems that our society is in.  ,
American fathers must regain their position as the guardians of our children and families. On August 31st, I’ll march in Washington along with hundreds of different fathers. Ideally, this will mark the beginning of a renaissance, for father, for parents, for the home, and for our nation.
