Puhlman featured in LawnStarter story on best cities for single dads

Assistant professor of family studies Daniel Puhlman talked with LawnStarter about the best cities for single dads. Puhlman answered questions for the “Ask The Experts” section of the article. “For single Dads, creating a support network around their children can be incredibly helpful,” Puhlman said. “Men tend to center friendships and social networks around activities like sports, business, games, etc., where conversations and interactions are built around a common experience.” He added: “If fatherhood is central to a man’s identity, they will be more likely to arrange their lives in ways that make sense to be a more engaged father, and sometimes that is very challenging and requires sacrifice. Sometimes this can mean taking a less active role in their careers and making active sacrifices to be present for their kids.”
