Father and Child Reunion A new book from Warren Farrel brings the following revelations to light:
* Children do better with single fathers than with single mothers. Both boys and girls are healthier and do better psychologically and academically, as well as socially
* Even characteristics such as empathy are exhibited more by children brought up by single fathers.
* Single fathers experience less stress juggling children and work than do single mothers.
