Father's Day Message
With Father's Day fast approaching, I share with you some wisdom from Tony Dungy, a retired Indianapolis Colts Head Coach. His comment is in response to what appears to be a 'widespread failure in character formation.'
It stems from the breakdown in the family structure. We have so many young men, especially, who are growing up without their dads. We have to fill that void. We have to do a better job helping young people see what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman. And then, somehow, we have to put that family structure back together. People have to understand how important it is for kids to be nurtured by their mom and dad and get the great role modeling when they are young. Maybe a generation ago, [the devaluation of the family] was looked at as being different or strange, and now we have accepted it. It's been promoted in our media. Kids think that's the norm. |
