He declared society is in dire need of present, engaged and loving fathers.<\/p>\n<p>During an exclusive interview with the podcast \u201cSolving the Fatherless Crisis,\u201d DeSantis said the key to solving social problems in America starts at home. According to DeSantis, more than 18 million children do not have a father figure.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf every kid in America had a loving father in the home, we would have far fewer things we would have to deal with as a society,\u201d said DeSantis.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Governor DeSantis signs legislation that will provide more than $70 million to support fatherhood. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uXDPga790v\">https:\/\/t.co\/uXDPga790v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1513518576228978688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The governor has three children with his wife Casey. He claimed that building a family changed his perspective on life and opened his eyes to challenges parents are facing today.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think meeting my wife really changed my life, based off where I was going,\u201d he stated. \u201cHaving the first child is really another one of those life altering experiences. It changes your perspective on life. Your living now to be able to raise these kids right. What I\u2019m doing is trying to make sure we leave them a better world, a better state, a better country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At a press conference last April, DeSantis signed groundbreaking legislation, which allocated 70 million dollars to support involved fatherhood in Florida.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you look over the last many decades, one of the worst social trends has been the decline of fatherhood,\u201d the governor voiced. \u201cWe have a fatherhood crisis in this country. The fact of the matter is when you take kids that do not have a father present during their upbringing, the chances of them dropping out of school, getting involved with trouble with the law and having other issues increases dramatically.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, a loving and nurturing father improves outcomes for children, families, and communities. Additionally, studies suggest that children with present fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, show empathy and avoid criminal activity.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/baby-formula-shortage-continues\/\">Baby Formula Shortage Continues<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 Florida Gov.
