Calling All Dads!According to the book: Raising Cain, Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys, Dads involved in PTA can have a BIG impact on their children's future lives: "....Greg Duncan of Northwestern University along with colleagues at the University of Michigan
studied a group of more than a thousand intact families in the United States over the course
of 27 years, examining many aspects of family life that were thought to be influential in determining the future occupations and incomes of their children, including the parents' occupations, incomes,education levels, and IQ's. They also looked at what would normally be considered less influential factors,including how much the father helped with housework, whether he used his free time to go to bars or watch TV, how often the family ate dinner together, whether they attended church, and whether the father had any involvement in PTA meetings. What they determined surprised them. Of the dozens of factors they considered, father attendance at PTA meetings was the most influential in terms of the child's income at at twenty-seven."
