Quotes for Father’s Day

        Let’s talk about another holiday coming up this weekend. Father’s Day! The first Father’s Day was celebrated June 10, 1910. It was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honor her father, Civil War veteran for the union William Jackson Smart. Dodd’s father was a widower who raised six children on his own. Because of this Dodd thought all men who raised their children deserved a holiday just as important as Mother’s Day. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson unfurled a flag for Father’s Day, after making Mother’s Day a holiday in 1914. It wasn’t until 1972 that President Richard Nixon made Father’s Day an official holiday. Today, Father’s Day recognizes all hardworking fathers who devote time to their families.

      There’s nothing like a good relationship between a father and his daughter. A girl’s relationship with her father affects how she views herself, the world and the type of people she chooses to date or interact with. Girls with positive father relationships are most likely become confident young women with high self-esteem. They are less likely to have body-image issues and eating disorders. Girls are also less likely to be pressured into risky sexual behaviors and turn to a partner for emotional support.
