Tom looks at how father's are essential and examines one research study that shows there is a biological connection to the ways mothers and fathers interact with their children. Oxytocin pushes women towards a more nurturing stance while the same hormone, oxytocin, pushes men into an active and play oriented connection. All the while the status quo tells us that men need to be more like women. Nope. Men need to be more like men! Men are good.
