Fathers who are engaged and present make a real difference in their children’s lives. Children who are raised by involved fathers are “60% less likely to be suspended or expelled from school, 2x as likely to go to college and find stable employment after high school, 75% less likely to have a teen birth, and 80% less likely to spend time in jail” (Child and Family Partnership, 2017).
