Yesterday's Father's Day celebrations highlight an essential discussion: the evolution of fatherhood in an age dominated by technology. As smart devices and digital tools increasingly take on parenting roles, the emotional and relational aspect of fatherhood risks being overshadowed. Fathers must evolve from mere protectors and providers to become actively engaged in their children's lives, despite the challenges posed by economic pressures and cultural shifts. The need for distinct support systems and policies that nurture deeper fatherhood is imperative to ensure fathers remain relevant and involved.
The modern workplace further complicates the issue. As the gig economy expands and remote work blurs the line between job and home, fathers may be physically present but emotionally absent.
Technology has reshaped how we parent. While tools can provide convenience, they risk displacing the emotional and relational depth required in human parenting.
