Growing up fatherless may be the condition; healing is the possibility.
Book Synopsis The Fatherless Daughter Project by : Denna Babul RN
Download or read book The Fatherless Daughter Project written by Denna Babul RN and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This groundbreaking work will give voice to an enormous population of women who are struggling to understand themselves in the face of their fathers’ absence.” —Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance and After This When Motherless Daughters was published 20 years ago, it unleashed a tsunami of healing awareness. When Denna Babul and Karin Smithson couldn't find the equivalent book for fatherlessness, The Fatherless Daughter Project was born. The book will set fatherless women on the path to growth and fulfillment by helping them to understand how their loss has impacted their lives. A father is supposed to provide a sense of security and stability. Losing a father comes with particular costs that vary depending on the way he left and how old a girl was when she lost him. Drawing on interviews with over 5000 women who became fatherless due to death, divorce, neglect, and outright abandonment, the authors have found that fatherless daughters tend to push their emotions underground. These issues in turn become distinct patterns in their relationships as adult women and they often can't figure out why. Delivered with compassion and expertise, this book allows readers support and understanding they never had when they first needed it, and it encourages the conversation to continue.

God is with you every step of the way, through the good and the bad. So, I want every boy and girl, every man and woman to know that you are not alone. Success is on the other side of the struggles and obstacles.Look at me just a small-town girl from Greenville, SC with big city dreams. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Administration and Management. Also, I am the business owner of KidzFusion, which is a mobile kids’ fitness company. These are just a couple of my accomplishments and trust me my journey is far from over. I know it may sound a bit cliché, but it is the truth. I overcame so much on my journey and accomplished so many things along the way. My vision has always been clear. Now I want to give you advice from my perspective and experiences. To show you that you are not alone. To give you a support system within me and to guide you in whichever way I possibly can do so. Your blessing is at the top of that steep hill you must climb!

Book excerpt: "What Daddy Didn't Know" (The Letters of a Fatherless Child), is an autobiography by Lance Brazelton, a twenty one-year-old African-American with a talent for arts. The story is about how he overcame his childhood trauma while on the verge of becoming a statistic. According to the United States Census Bureau, 24 million children in America (one out of every three) live in biological father-absent homes. Statistics prove that fatherless children are at a higher risk of: incarceration, suicide, teen pregnancy, dropping out of high school, committing crimes, and running away from home. The story is told through letters written to his biological father; and the letters are written out of the inspiration of poems and songs he has written throughout his lifetime. Brazelton highlights the moments in his life when a father figure was needed the most, and stresses how decisions were most important in his adolescent years.

Whether our fathers left us entirely during our childhood or were physically present but emotionally distant, those who missed out on an affirming, intimate father-love continue to experience the devastating consequences of that loss. • Are you angry at the world and don’t know why? • Do you inadvertently sabotage relationships or smother those closest to you? • Do you rarely take risks or step out on faith? • Is there an undercurrent of anxiety in most tasks you perform? • Do you struggle to connect with God? • Do you have little or no self-confidence–or minimal self-worth? For women who answer yes to these questions, the common denominator is often an absent father. Far too many daughters have been stripped of a healthy relationship with their earthly dad. But real healing is within your reach. Discover how the absence of your father has impacted your entire life–your attitude, your actions, your beliefs, your decisions, and your identity–and learn how you can stop resulting negative behaviors, beak free, and experience a confidence-building, empowering love that will heal your hurts and fulfill your deepest longings.
Book Synopsis A Fatherless Child by : Tara T. Green
Download or read book A Fatherless Child written by Tara T. Green and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of absent fathers on sons in the black community has been a subject for cultural critics and sociologists who often deal in anonymous data. Yet many of those sons have themselves addressed the issue in autobiographical works that form the core of African American literature. A Fatherless Child examines the impact of fatherlessness on racial and gender identity formation as seen in black men’s autobiographies and in other constructions of black fatherhood in fiction. Through these works, Tara T. Green investigates what comes of abandonment by a father and loss of a role model by probing a son’s understanding of his father’s struggles to define himself and the role of community in forming the son’s quest for self-definition in his father’s absence. Closely examining four works—Langston Hughes’s The Big Sea, Richard Wright’s Black Boy, Malcolm X’s The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father—Green portrays the intersecting experiences of generations of black men during the twentieth century both before and after the Civil Rights movement. These four men recall feeling the pressure and responsibility of caring for their mothers, resisting public displays of care, and desiring a loving, noncontentious relationship with their fathers. Feeling vulnerable to forces they may have identified as detrimental to their status as black men, they use autobiography as a tool for healing, a way to confront that vulnerability and to claim a lost power associated with their lost fathers. Through her analysis, Green emphasizes the role of community as a father-substitute in producing successful black men, the impact of fatherlessness on self-perceptions and relationships with women, and black men’s engagement with healing the pain of abandonment. She also looks at why these four men visited Africa to reclaim a cultural history and identity, showing how each developed a clearer understanding of himself as an American man of African descent. A Fatherless Child conveys important lessons relevant to current debates regarding the status of African American families in the twenty-first century. By showing us four black men of different eras, Green asks readers to consider how much any child can heal from fatherlessness to construct a positive self-image—and shows that, contrary to popular perceptions, fatherlessness need not lead to certain failure.
Book Synopsis Sons Without Fathers by : Mardi Allen
Download or read book Sons Without Fathers written by Mardi Allen and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a mother raising a son without a father this book was written for you. What are the 5 major diseases and ailments that your son is more likely to acquire without his father (or a suitable male role model) in his life? What are the 4 critical skills that a father can teach his son that a mother cannot teach? What are the 4 characteristics that adult sons without fathers possess that put them at a disadvantage in developing relationships? These questions-and many more-are answered in this book. Whether they lose their fathers to divorce or death, or whether their fathers go to prison or abandon them at birth, or were simply never in the picture-such as in artificial insemination-boys that grow up in homes without their biological father go through childhood at a disadvantage. There are almost 9 million such sons in America. The authors believe that mothers can overcome those disadvantages with effective parenting tailored to their sons' needs. The authors are convinced that most mothers want to do what is right for their sons, and if that does not always occur, it is usually because they do not always have the right information at their fingertips. Specifically, this book was written for: * Single mothers who are raising sons without a father. * Married mothers contemplating divorce. * Mothers with sons who have remarried. * Lesbian mothers who are raising a son. * Adoptive parents who are raising a son. Most self-help parenting books are "bucket brigade" manuals that are written to help parents put out the fires that arise in the normal course of parenting a child. The authors do that, too, with the problems that are specific to fatherless boys, but their major focus is teaching skills that will help mothers prevent problems from ever developing. Sons who grow up without fathers have different needs, different experiences, and different life expectations from sons who grow up with fathers, and those differences begin in childhood and continue throughout life. Sons with fathers, absent physical or emotional abuse in the family, usually grow up to consider the world to be a friendly place with potential for great good. Without special parenting by their mothers, sons without fathers invariably see the world as an unfriendly place with potential for great harm. Mardi Allen, Ph.D. and James L. Dickerson are co-authors of "How to Screen Adoptive and Foster Parents: A Workbook for Professionals and Students" and "The Basics of Adoption: A Guide for Building Families in the U.S. and Canada." Dr. Allen is a psychologist who counsels families in private practice, clinical liaison for the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, and a former president of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards. Dickerson is a social work innovator who has developed new programs such as the Foster Parent Syndrome, a screening procedure for selecting adoptive and foster parents, and "You've Got a Friend," a federally funded socialization program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In addition, he is the author of two health-related books, "Cirrhosis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed" and "Yellow Fever: A Deadly Disease Poised to Kill Again."

Book Synopsis For Boys in Men's Bodies by : Ish'mael A. Ngu
Download or read book For Boys in Men's Bodies written by Ish'mael A. Ngu and published by Ishmael A. Ngu. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research from the U.S. Census Bureau, Minnesota Psychological Association, and the National Center of Fathering convey the overwhelming facts. Those who grow up without their fathers are more likely to face one or several adverse outcomes which result from a range of issues. They include often result from perceived abandonment, attachment issues, child abuse, mental health issues, poor school performance, substance use, poverty, lack of purpose, loss of identity, criminal justice involvement, gang involvement, and homelessness. Fatherlessness today is a social epidemic, one that the author is acquainted with, firsthand. In this book, Ish’mael shifts the focus from the facts to the people. He uses his story as a sounding board. Then, he uses his growth journey as a platform to unpack transformational thoughts, ideas, mindsets, and frameworks to help others facing fatherless challenges overcome some of the challenges they face. While most boys and men are likely to face numerous life challenges because of the lack of father power, an intentional journey of growth and transformation can veto any background. To help normalize the struggles and alleviate the pain, the author synthesizes his understandings into two simple models which he personally uses to engage in spiritual, mental, relational, financial, and physical transformation. He believes it will help boys and men elevate themselves if they are not already on that path. We are born looking like our fathers, he learned but, we will die looking like our decisions. This book will equip boys and men with insights and resources to overcome the struggles of growing up with your father or father power.
Book Synopsis How To Raise A Boy by : Michael C. Reichert
Download or read book How To Raise A Boy written by Michael C. Reichert and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when many boys are in crisis, a much-needed roadmap for helping boys grow into strong and compassionate men Over the past two decades there has been an explosion of new studies that have expanded our knowledge of how boys think and feel. In How to Raise a Boy, psychologist Michael Reichert draws on his decades of research to challenge age-old conventions about how boys become men. Reichert explains how the paradigms about boys needing to be stoic and "man like" can actually cause them to shut down, leading to anger, isolation, and disrespectful or even destructive behaviors. The key to changing the culture lies in how parents, educators, and mentors help boys develop socially and emotionally. Reichert offers readers step-by-step guidance in doing just this by: Listening and observing, without judgment, so that boys know they're being heard. Helping them develop strong connections with teachers, coaches, and other role models Encouraging them to talk about their feelings about the opposite sex and stressing the importance of respecting women Letting them know that they don't have to "be a man" or "suck it up," when they are experiencing physical or emotional pain. Featuring the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, How to Raise a Boy will help those who care for young boys and teenagers build a boyhood that will enable them to grow into confident, accomplished and kind men.
