My 5 yo and I just completed our 3rd annual dance this past weekend. One Dad there was on year SEVENTEEN. Bravo. A whole building filled with Dads just aiming to be intentional, present, & fun.
Twenty plus years as a trauma therapist has consistently shown me that male passivity and disengagement in relationships is the farthest reaching mental health issue I can think of.
While certainly not a cure-all, it's been inspiring to learn that father/daughter dances are selling out everywhere in the US. Turns out, my city's been doing it for 20 years.
Props to LSPR for your admirable commitment to this. πΉππΌ
