"The pandemic gave many families a window into the benefits of being home with their young children, causing many parents to question whether day care is the right choice. Why are we financially incentivizing mothers to return to work extraordinarily early after the birth of their children, rather than encouraging them to care for their emotionally and neurologically fragile infants? Attachment security, established in a child's first three years through sensitive, empathic connections, is foundational to mental health. Reducing mothers to a technical role, by equating them with day care workers, is not only false but harmful. Directing government resources towards empowering parents to stay home, supported by family stipends and paid leave through tax credits and social security benefits, is a more effective approach. This facilitates kinship bonds and extended family care, allowing parents to stay home part-time and compensating family members for child care." @EricaKomisarCSW ifstudies.org/blog/governmen…

@ChristopherDrew Amen. The route to God’s will for our lives is pretty straightforward; we might just have to get out of our own way.

In recent years, it has become fashionable in liberal circles to disparage and devalue fathers. A Huffington Post blog post is titled bluntly “Fathers Are Not Needed.” An Atlantic article says, “The bad news for Dad is that despite common perception, there’s nothing objectively essential about his contribution.” A New York Times article fumes, “One of the most persistent and frustrating problems in evolutionary biology is the male. Specifically, . . . why doesn’t he just go away?” Even churches sometimes send negative messages to fathers. The women’s ministry leader at a large Baptist church told me, “On Mother’s Day, we honor mothers, passing out roses. But we spend Father’s Day scolding men and telling them to ‘do better.’” It’s time for us as a society to “do better” in valuing and respecting fathers. The numbers are clear: Children benefit enormously from growing up with loving, committed, nurturing fathers. Instead of disrespecting and dismissing fathers, American culture needs to reverse course and start encouraging them in the crucial role they play in the family.

Highlight of the day: swinging at the playground & making up alternative lyrics to this song with my 5-year-old. #ijustdontcareifixmyhair m.youtube.com/watch?v=bNQ0Tn…

Sometimes when life isn’t just how I want it to be, I picture sassy Amy Poehler in ‘Baby Mama’ saying: “well I wish this *was* an Arby’s…” #kendrabrain
