THE KINKEEPER

Tracing your genealogy has become a popular hobby in the United States. More than 1 million people around the country have taken these tests. Shows like PBS's Finding Your Roots have shown the public how much information you can find out about your family tree with a simple DNA test.

It might be surprising that genetic sleuthing has become part of pop culture, but it probably isn't so shocking that this has become particularly important to one demographic.

FAMILY TIME

DID YOU KNOW?

Mothers’ Union is an international Christian charity that seeks to support families worldwide. Its members are not all mothers or even all women, as there are many parents, men, widows, singles and grandparents involved in its work. It main aim is to support monogamous marriage and family life, especially through times of adversity.

DID YOU KNOW . . . the leading provider of fatherhood skill-building resources in the country and the leading trainer of practitioners seeking to offer fatherhood programs in their communities is the National Fatherhood  Initiative.

“Do you wonder how to convince a mother to encourage the father of her child to be more involved in that child’s life? Have you tried to convince a mother to allow the father of her child to be more involved only to be thwarted in your attempt? Do you work with a mother who can’t seem to say one nice thing about the father of their children? Do you work with a couple that continually fights and has poor communication and conflict-resolution skills? Do you ever wonder why a certain couple can’t seem to put their children first—who think about no one other than themselves?”
