Player Real Dads Network is asking all those who believe that involved fathers should be celebrated , to join in as they bring Real Dads together for a week of positive enjoyment and recognition for the important role they play . Children who grow up without an involved father are , on average , at least two to three times more likely to be poor , to use drugs , to experience educational , health , emotional and behavioral problems , to be victims of child abuse , and to engage in criminal behavior ( National Fatherhood Initiative ).
