I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert, Dune

After spending the last week at the beach with my family and friends, I am reflecting on the beauty of fatherhood. Teaching my children how to bodysurf and enjoy the ocean is smile producing. They are sponges for knowledge all while being petulant and selfish. My wife and I are growing as we learn how to navigate the parenting waters. Being a father is difficult but extremely rewarding.
Fatherhood is always a topic that I cherish learning about. I am reading a new book by Paul Raeburn called Do Father's Matter. Easy answer - of course they do. Why?
Genetically, we know that 1/2 of the DNA of a child is dads'. Traits of fathers are passed on to daughters and sons with equal importance. After birth, if a father is around, a child can learn how to live by watching his father's actions. If those actions are positive, the results are generally good. If those actions are negative, a child can suffer from the poor teaching. I think of the influence that my father had on me as a young man. Profound is the first word that enters my mind.
My father spent time with me as a child. That was what I needed. He taught me everything. He assumed that I could handle it. He was tough yet extremely soft at the same time. He was my leader and I loved to be led.
In Do Fathers Matter, much of the current research regarding fathers and their children are laid bare.
Paul Raeburn looks at the research regarding daughters and puberty. He noted that girls whose fathers were absent went into puberty 12 months earlier than girls whose fathers were around. Raeburn writes, "The conclusion that growing up with an emotionally or physically distant father in early to middle childhood could be a "key life transition' that alters sexual development."
Fathers historically spent 2.5 hours per week with their children in 1965. These days it is up to 7.3 hours. Research. As these numbers are climbing for involved fathers the total number of involved fathers is declining. Research. This is a concern on many levels.
As I read this book, I will highlight the risks and the solutions offered. In the meantime, spend as much quality and loving time with your kids as you can. We know that works.
Stay tuned,

| Greens - top 10 to eat |
Here is my list of the great 10 green vegetables.
Greens are loaded with nutrients the likes of which are rarely found in these volumes in other foods. Many greens are considered the "super foods". Greens contain large amounts of iron, vitamins A/C/K, calcium, magnesium, folic acid, lutein, zeaxanthin and many other antioxidants. Greens are loaded with fiber that is paramount to a healthy gut micro biome. They have all of the building blocks of a healthy gut and mind.
The human body thrives on these types of food.
I like to eat greens daily and offer them to my children every day as salads, steamed veges or stir fry dishes. Cooked the right way, many children and adults will enjoy them.
1) Kale
2) Broccoli
3) Spinach
4) Seaweed
5) Swiss Chard
6) Brussel Sprouts
7) Collard Greens
8) Bok Choy
9) Beet Greens
10) Green Tea
There is probably no other greater recommendation that I could make to my patients at this time other than to increase their consumption of greens! Preferably organic.
