Did you know that many child development experts believe the influence of a father on his children is most critical from the ages of six to 14?
Former President George W. Bush, himself a father of two, agrees. As he wrote in the 2008 Presidential Proclamation for Father’s Day.
“By providing their sons and daughters with a positive example, fathers help give their children the necessary foundation they need to make wise decisions throughout their lives.”
*Read Barack Obama’s 2009 Presidential Father’s Day Proclamation
