Father of five, author, and journalist Paul Raeburn joins us to talk about his new book, Do Fathers Matter, What Science is Telling Us About the Parent We've Overlooked. Paul talks about some of the landmines he encountered as he researched the book and how he balances the impact a father can have on his family and the reality that many children grow up without active dads in their lives. We also talk about the latest dad-related research across various scientific fields including sociology, biology, anthropology, and psychology.
The Parents' Phrase Book author Whit Honea joins us again with his response to people that gush over a dad with his child at the playground, or even worse, refer to a dad with his child as a "babysitter."
