According to recent research, children whose fathers
are highly involved with them in a positive way
do better in school, demonstrate better psychological
well-being and lower levels of delinquency, and
ultimately attain higher levels of education and
economic self-sufficiency.
Given the importance of fathers spending time with
their kids, why is it that while teenagers watch
an average of 21 hours of television per week, they

| Bullying
Is Not A Fact of Life |
|
Every
day in our schools and communities, children are teased,
threatened, or tormented by bullies. About
Bullying, part of the 15+ Make
Time to Listen…Take Time to Talk initiative,
provides parents and caregivers with information about bullying
and methods for communicating with children about the climate
of fear created by bullying. The messages exchanged between
children and their caregivers in just 15 minutes or more
a day can be instrumental in building a healthier and safer
environment for children. Safe schools are everyone's responsibility
and everyone can help keep our schools safe.
