Nurah Speaks

Here I continue the mention of fathers and the significance of fathers in the lives of children.  The Center for Disease Control reports that 90% of all homeless and runaway youth, 71% of high school drop outs and 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.   In part, this episode discusses the way fathers impact the development of identity in boys and the mental health and self esteem in girls.  It should be obvious to us that fathers strongly impact identity and behaviors in our boys and the mental wellness of our girls.  However, since fatherhood is not celebrated and often undervalued, these are facts of which must be discussed in this podcast.
