Fatherhood Think Tank

Roles of a Father/Father Figure 
This is a platform is for future and current Father's to express themselves regarding the roles they should play in the 1st 3-years of a child's life.
  •  What role should a Father/Father Figure play in the 1st 3-years of a child's life?
  • Why don't Black Men who father children with women they are no longer involved with fight for 50% custody? Our do they?
  • What kind of curriculum would you like to see for a young Afrikan male?
  • When should a father begin strengthening his man child's identity?
  • Should we register our children birth with our existing governments? Why or why not?
  • When should a father begin strengthening his man child's identity?
  • Is there a certain age when a man child should learn his role?
  • Should boys and girls be educated separately? If so at what age or stage in their lives? If not why?

  1. Although I am not a Afrikan Male I felt it necessary to give input regarding registering our children under our current government! Realistically if you are born in a European Nation like the USA or Europe you need a passport in order to travel abroad and you can't get a passport without a visa, a birth certificate, or a SS card. So unless you plan to stay and never travel abroad, or you do a Henry Box Brown move by mailing yourself what other alternatives are available?

  3. Fathers need more trust from woman to give equal love their first years child. There're younger men fighting for 50/50% custody and get adjustments through law to separately co assist-educate /taken care of unless no propensity for crime and abusive behaviors.In countries with big conflicts of laws-adjustments and poor constructive abilities to living/recreating(ours Dutch lower Antilles included bl.analphabetism/unemployment on most blacks/huge divorces through drug/drinking/secret or hidden performed the polygamy, abuses and interference with an intrusive massive cultural immigrant'flow with low level standards-identities forcing corruptive social security standards ) longstanding love will gradually be lacking. The abilities for young blacks to secure improvement of stamina and self control necessary is adjustment in family awareness planning, chance to migrate with family to work their skills/chance to incorporate in investment, corporate housing, deals and sharing. A totally anti-jealous, non-weak moralistic society urging the government for a totally-concern for determined human rights wide-spread-issue to become a jurisdictional task: an automatically act of defence on public schools educating male/female equal human rights (tackling youth birth-control-brain-damaging control resulted from intoxication/group science studies and arts activities, and so on whilst secured against destruction in all sense of human kind))
