Father Stories
Two Recommended Short Videos
Hi everyone-
We found these great TEDx videos that we're excited to share! The first video shows Angela Patton telling the story of a very unique father-daughter dance. This video is heartwarming and gives inspiration to maintaining a father-daughter connection. The second video shows Wrenetha Julion, a member of the Rush Medical School Nursing faculty, describing a fatherhood program that has been set up to help fathers that face obstacles to staying engaged in their children's lives. Both videos encourage the essential connection between fathers and their children. Take a look!
