Evolution of Dad
30 September 2011
Father\’s Day is a secular celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother\’s Day in celebrating fatherhood and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. While many people believe that Father\’s Day is a holiday invented by the fine folks at Hallmark, it\’s not so. The driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father\’s Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Todd. Fatherâs Day is a non-religious holiday that honours fathers. It\’s celebrated on a variety of different days in many different countries, but the most common day for Father\’s Day celebrations is the third Sunday in June. In this Video episode of Gear Daddy, Daddy Troy talks with filmmaker and dad Dana Glazer about his documentary film \”The Evolution of Dad\”. The movie explores how fatherhood is evolving and changing, and includes interviews with experts and dads. Other topics featured are how fathers deal with the work/family balance, and parental leave in the United States
