Fatherhood
The Challenges of Being a Father for Baby Boomers
Fatherhood is a complex and evolving role that entails a broad spectrum of responsibilities and challenges. For Baby Boomers, the experience of being a father has been uniquely shaped by the societal, economic, and technological changes of our time. Historical events such as the post-war economic boom, the civil rights movement, and the advent of the digital age have all impacted our roles as fathers. Traditional expectations of fatherhood centered on the father as the primary breadwinner and disciplinarian, have shifted, leading to more involved and emotionally available fathers in nurturing and Caregiving roles.
This section delves into today’s fathers and grandfathers dealing with societal expectations, emotional and psychological challenges of bonding with their children, economic responsibilities, work-life balance, technological changes, parenting styles and approaches, family dynamics and being the best father you can be.
