Today, about half of all babies born to mothers under the age of 25 will not live with their fathers for much of their childhood. From the perspective of many social scientists and\u003cbr\u003epoliticians, this change has wreaked havoc on society by trapping women and children in poverty and loosening the civilizing bond between men and their families. But what is causing the phenomenon? Some place blame at the feet of the young men themselves, together with eroding cultural and family\u003cbr\u003evalues. Others point to systemic failures in our economy or social support programs. Rather than assign blame, the first goal of \u003cem\u003eLost and Found\u003c\/em\u003e is to tell the stories of young men as they struggle (with varying degrees of success) to become fathers. The second goal is to outline a strategy for\u003cbr\u003ehelping young fathers remain constructively involved with their partners and children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from their research with over 1,000 young parents in Chicago and Salt Lake City, Paul Florsheim and David Moore focus on a group of about 20 young fathers, whose stories-conveyed in their own words-help the reader make sense of what is happening to fatherhood in America. Having interviewed\u003cbr\u003eyoung fathers and their partners before and after their children were born, these accounts provide a dynamic perspective on the development of young men and their relationships. Young mothers-the partners of these young men-both corroborate and sometimes offer alternative or contradictory\u003cbr\u003eperspectives. Oriented to undo stereotypes, the authors introduce the notion of good-enough fathering, tempering the tendency to think simply in terms of good or bad fathers. They go on to provide concrete recommendations for strengthening fathers' roles and helping young fathers and mothers\u003cbr\u003ecreate stable home environments for their children, whether the parents are together or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Florsheim, David Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190865016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Florsheim, PhD, \u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor in the Joseph J.
