What Children Give Their Fathers

Educator Allan Shedlin has recently conducted a series of 100 interviews documenting what fathers can learn from being fathers.  According to Shedlin, being a dad

— reminds fathers of what is really important, of what needs are fundamental;
— exposes them to a new, deeper kind of love;
— diminishes their self-absorption;
— demonstrates the value of asking good questions;
— helps them appreciate the responsibilities and obligations of power;
— reminds them of the value of playfulness, imagination, enthusiasm, and wonder; and
— makes them laugh.
