Fatherhood, far from being “toxic”, is an incredible protective factor that majorly reduces a whole variety of risks for children. The benefits of fatherhood extend far beyond the home, impacting children's health, safety, and future success. Keep that in mind next time someone uses the phrase “toxic masculinity”.
Bruce Robinson argues that every father must learn to give unconditional love to his children, and is explicit about dads telling their children about their unconditional love for them. I agree, but it is darn difficult.

As I think about my own children, I’m concerned about the world they will inherit. Generation Alpha (those born from 2010-2024) kids are stepping into a world of slower economic progress, higher inflation, mountains of inherited debt, and many uncertainties besides.
Andrew Gray and his producer Glaucco Tomaz are doing excellent work, creating content to empower men and usher in a renaissance of healthy masculinity. I picked up a few great dad tips from him, and I hope you do, too!
Every father wants to be a hero in his son’s eyes. Every father dreams of leaving a lasting impact, of being the guiding force that shapes his son into a confident, capable leader.
