TY @RepJimmyGomez and @DadsCaucus for inviting me to this important roundtable ahead of Father's Day! And most of all, for championing the hardest work of Americans across this country...parenting.
Our #FathersDayWeekofAction roundtable just wrapped! Our expert panelists discussed the importance of #PaidLeave for all parents and how dads spending time with their newborns increases health outcomes for the whole family. We can all benefit from family friendly policies!
To improve maternal and child health, fathers must be included in services and policies designed to support families, @DrTovaWalsh and @CFGarfield argue in a @thehill op-ed. "Fathers are central, not peripheral, to their families," they write.

How big were the Sting back then?
A thread.
🤣 Do you remember this adorable video from a few years ago featuring @ComedianDJPryor "chatting" with his son? It’s one of our favorites because it is a great example of a serve & return interaction.
