Lara Robinson:
“There are a lot of amazing fathers out there (including my own) but I feel the need to recognize my husband, Kevin Dunham, this Father’s Day.
“We have two children: our daughter is 12 months and our son is 5 years old. Kevin is an incredibly patient, loving and hands-on father. He has always been an equal partner in child care and child rearing. And let’s be honest, being a dad in the early years of childhood is often tough—moms usually get top billing.
“But over the years he has become our son’s super-hero; daddy is the best at building with Legos, fixing just about anything or making his signature weekend breakfasts. And as I have watched him dance with our daughter in our arms, I know that all future men in her life will be measured by his standards.”

Linda Frederick’s husband, children and grandchildren: From left to right: son Daniel, friend Kim, granddaughter Cadence, son Kevin, granddaughter Jordan, husband Rick, granddaughter Lyric, Linda, daughter Ashley, and granddaughter Justice.
Linda Frederick:
“Aside from God, family is the most important thing in life to me. My husband Rick spent 20 years in the Air Force. We enjoyed traveling and the tours of duty to Japan, Honduras, England, Germany, Korea, France, Texas, Florida, and Virginia. We also enjoyed meeting new people and the life-long friends we made with whom we have stayed in touch with throughout the years. In looking back, I realize how time flies when you’re having fun as they say.”

I took this of my Children's book collection that I keep in my preschool classroom. I teach Pre-K.
I have been collecting Children's books for years now. I have many Green Tiger Press books that are out of print.
Many books I buy because I love the illustrations.
I also collect fairy and fantasy books.
I organize my books into these blue book bins that have a plastic sleeve on the side of the box to put a label. I organize the books by theme and also by authors. The books that are just general read aloud books go on my smaller bookshelf. I also have books that are sets together. ie. Curious George, The Berenstain Bears, Clifford, Dr. Seuss, Little Critters etc.
I am a storyteller and I also have many puppets. I also have a collection of books on cassette and CD. Those are stored in the basket.
This photo is of my husband, Brett Broussard, our 7-year-old son Kyle and 3-year-old daughter Morgan.
Cheryl Broussard:
“Before I had kids, I wasn’t sure how good of a mom I would be (I was the spoiled “baby” of the family and had never even babysat before). However, I was very confident that my husband would be a great dad, and he hasn’t let me down!
“Since our youngest child was born three years ago, he has been a stay-at-home parent, which we all know is one of the hardest jobs there is. When I was growing up, my friends were always envious of my own dad (who is now all the grandkids’ favorite “Gramp”) --- now my work friends are envious that I have a husband who stays home with our daughter, totes my son back and forth to school and other activities, and even has the energy to cook for us (delicious Cajun meals, by the way)!
“So a tribute to all the dads, and all the ways they work hard to support the families that they love.”

The book covers diverse topics like developmental delay, learning difficulties, attention deficit disorders, autism, Asperger syndrome, behaviour difficulties, language disorders, school refusal, bullying, emotional difficulties, neurological impairments that affect development (examples being cerebral palsy and brain injury) and motor coordination problems.
It also offers online case scenarios on autism, ADHD, school refusal and truancy, cerebral palsy and child abuse and neglect. The cases are followed by questions to test the acquired knowledge of the student on these topics.
This practical guide to child development is ideal for trainee paediatricians, registrars, paediatricians and general practitioners.

Michael Curtis with his daughters, Jessica and Ashley Curtis.
Jessica Curtis:
“My dad means the world to me,” is an understatement. I don’t know who I would be without him. He’s my number one fan and supporter. No matter what, he’s always there.
Not only does he continue to be the provider and supporter of my family, but he supported and served in the United States Army for 20 years. He’s a jack of all trades, working on cars, home repairs, building, grilling, he does it all. He’s a wonderful husband, father, and he’s my best friend!
About two years ago, my dad had a heart attack. I rushed him to the hospital. As he set in the passenger side, struggling to stay awake, all I could think about was losing him. He survived and continues to live his life to the fullest, living by his motto, “Every day is a holiday!”

This picture is at the graduation ceremony for my son Kevin, who graduated from Georgia Southern this past May. The photo includes my sons James, Jr. and Kevin; my grandson, Malachi; my wife Brenda and our daughter Angela holding our granddaughter Phoebe. That’s me in the background.
James Scales:
“I’ve always taken my role as a father very seriously. It has been the greatest opportunity that I’ve ever been afforded. My wife Brenda is the nurturer and provides the tender care. I am the ‘point-man and pace-setter’ for my family. Our greatest joy now is enjoying the grandkids and fulfilling our roles as “Papa and Nana”! Everything has come full circle!”

Elizabeth Parra Dang (right) with her father, Bill Parra, and her older sister, Margot, on Father’s Day in 1994
Elizabeth Parra Dang:
“My father has worked in public health his entire career and is still its biggest fan! Currently, he is a champion for reducing global tobacco use.
“Growing up my whole life surrounded by CDC and public health endeavors, my father’s passion for the field has clearly inspired me to take a similar path. He has always been supportive of my choices but I am sure the reason for making wise choices in the first place is due to my solid upbringing.
“My parents always say my sister and I were a piece of cake to raise….but I’m sure they had a lot to do with that for which we are very lucky!”

Amanda Tarkington’s father, Ike Tarkington.
Amanda Tarkington:
“My father was a creative, loving and playful man.
“He also had an incredible green thumb. He could bring to life not only plants, but the imagination in my toddler’s mind and heart. I remember a bumper crop of sunflowers once that he helped me befriend as if they were new family members.
“I’m so lucky to have had such a creative role model who helped me see magic in the world and fantastic possibilities in the ordinary.”

Tom Horne with his daughter Katie.
Tom Horne:
“I call this photo ‘The Other Irrational Exuberance!’
“When Katie was about 8 years old we were invited one morning to watch the spring herd of about 1,500 sheep with their newborn lambs being herded to their summer pasture in the high mountains outside of Durango, Colorado.
“She was watching the herd as any normal kid would do until the Peruvian shepherd picked up one of the lambs and handed it to me for her to touch and get a photo. She began jumping and squealing with delight -- you would have thought she’d just won the lottery! This is still one of my very favorite photos.
“We should all have occasions to share this other type of irrational exuberance!”

Whitney Moore Young Jr. (1921-1971) was an African-American civil rights leader who spent most of his career working to end employment discrimination in the United States. As Executive Director of the National Urban League he turned it from a relatively passive civil rights organization into one that fought for equitable access to socioeconomic opportunity for the historically disenfranchised. Young drowned in 1971 while swimming with friends in Lagos, Nigeria where he was attending a conference.
In 1977, six years following his death, the Christian Welfare Society, Inc. of San Francisco, recognized as the first school in the nation for low-income handicapped children, changed its name in dedication to the late Whitney Young Jr. At the same time the organization launched a unique and innovative new program for urban childcare. This program would, in the ensuing years, go on to set new expectations in the role of child development centers throughout the nation.
I love my job as a nanny here in Los Angeles, and this summer I'm going to Thailand to help the children there. But I need some help to make it happen.
I'll be volunteering (for 4 weeks this July) at a Temple in Surin, Thailand. I’ll be working in a daycare, run by the Monks there. The daycare was created to help impoverished families, so parents have a safe place to leave their children so that they can go and work. Volunteering abroad is something I have always wanted to do. i will do whatever I can to help those who need it. I want to make a difference, no matter how small.
Knowing that I’ll be helping kids really speaks to my heart. I’ve been a nanny for 16 years and children are such an important part of my life. Everyday I feel incredibly blessed to live where I do and to earn a living doing something I LOVE. The children I take care of are all so wonderful that it’s made me realize that I want to pursue it as a career. I’ve recently gone back to school to get a degree in child development and early education. I’m faithful that the knowledge I gain from this volunteer experience will be invaluable.
Since this is a volunteer situation I will not be paid for the work I'll be doing. In fact, I will have to pay them. The organization I am volunteering with charges a fee, I'm also responsible for buying my own plane tickets, all of my own food, and my vaccinations. And of course since I won't be receiving any income, I will somehow need pay my rent when I return on the 1st of August. But I've always believed if there is a will, there is a way. If anyone watching this is touched or sees what a wonderful program this is for these poor Thai families, any donations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for watching!

it what's left from his newborn hair that didn't fall out - and since my mom said that I can't cut his hair until his a year old (don't ask, it's a Filipino thing). It reminded me of the movie Little Rascals' Alfalfa one morning after I gave him a bath :)
