Invitation to a Dialogue: A Father’s Place

A reader urges more father engagement — a “Daddying Movement” — to benefit kids and dads alike. Readers are invited to respond.

A child needs a parent.

Sometimes the rolls reverse or combine.
Pediatricians should know the family structure.

Books

Carolyn See, Author of ‘Golden Days,’ Dies at 82

The novelist often put portraits of intimate relationships and sociological observations of the lives of Angelenos together with grander fictional ideas.
