Oklahoma dads served by the Strong Dads program at Oklahoma State University’s Extension Service continue to show that they not only want to be there for their families, but that they want to become the best men and fathers they can be. Strong Dads uses National Fatherhood Initiative®’s evidence-based 24:7 Dad® curriculum to provide the scaffolding for dads’ growth, along with individual case management connecting dads to needed resources.

Experience confirms that there must be a social re-evaluation of the mother’s role, of the toil connected with it, and of the need that children have for care, love and affection in order that they may develop into responsible, morally and religiously mature and psychologically stable persons. It will redound to the credit of society to make it possible for a mother-without inhibiting her freedom, without psychological or practical discrimination, and without penalizing her as compared with other women-to devote herself to taking care of her children and educating them in accordance with their needs, which vary with age.
