The Daddy Shift: Transforming American Families - July 22nd Event

A reminder about an engaging, current, and social parenting event tomorrow night, July 22, in NYC!

In cooperation with 92Y Parenting Center and NYC Dads Group

The Daddy Shift: Transforming American Families
A revealing talk with audience discussion on a growing phenomenon among American families: fathers who cut back on paid work to focus on raising children. Explore with Jeremy Adam Smith, journalist and author of The Daddy Shift and Amy Richards, author of Opting In: Having a Child without Losing Yourself, what happens when dads stay home; What do stay-at-home fathers struggle with—and what do they rejoice in? How does taking up the mother’s traditional role affect a father’s relationship with his partner, children and extended family? And what does stay-at-home fatherhood mean for the larger society?

Join Jeremy, Amy Richards and audience members to consider an evolutionary advance in the American family, one that may help families better survive the twenty-first century as the unstable economy makes flexible gender roles more possible and more desirable.

Tickets are still available for this inexpensive evening event (only $15).
