Happy Father's Day!
On behalf of the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood,
I want to wish every father and father figure a joyous Father's Day. Statistics show that a father's positive involvement in his child's life makes that child more likely to thrive and improves the child's emotional and social development, as well as academic achievement. There is no formula for how to be a perfect parent; however, being there is half the equation. Enjoy quality time with your children.
All the best,
Kimberly A. Dent, Executive Director
