Today is International Men\u2019s Day and the theme for 2018 is Positive Male Role Models. Did you know that on average, fathers spend less than 10 minutes a day having one to one time with their children? While of course, a mother can give so much to their children, having a male role model in\u00a0 a child\u2019s life can be hugely beneficial, especially for young boys. So that\u2019s why this year, the focus is on bringing good male role models into children\u2019s lives. Men that children can look up to, can admire, and perhaps want to be like when they grow up. It\u2019s also about learning your part as a role model for young people, how to help them on the best path in life and lead by example.<\/p>\n
