Thoughts on Helping Hands

I really liked the idea of Helping Hands. I was surprised to find out that there was not a service like this for single fathers, especially when you consider the amount of ones out there for single mothers. I feel like this is definitely important and needed because guys sadly just are not raised the same way that girls are and they aren't taught to be nurturing, they really just start learning once they have their own kid and they learn through their spouse in a way. But if they are a single father, than there is really no way for them to learn how to do it; this Helping Hands service would actively work to eliminate this issue. It's also going to become increasingly important as more states and their governments start becoming less biased towards parental gender in court; we talked about this recently in my Sociology class, some states such as Tennessee are pretty good in giving rights to the father, but even in those states that rarely give rights to the father, we are seeing a change in those numbers, meaning more and more fathers are getting custody more frequently. As we move forward, I can only assume that the amount of single fathers with primary custody will continue to rise as well as the need for a service similar to Helping Hands.  One thing that I definitely think needs to be implemented which was brought up in the presentation was the inclusion of a forum for single fathers where fathers can ask questions that they don't know the answer to and it can be answered by other single fathers who might have had to deal with the exact same situation, or at least a similar one. Granted, I have never made a website or a forum of any kind to say the least, but I wouldn't imagine that it would be that hard, especially since you already have the foundation for it in your website and would only need to add the feature to it. If this was implemented, I could see Helping Hands really become a household name to single fathers. Another thing  that I wanted to add that's not related to the website or service necessarily is kudos to the group for going first and still doing a wonderful job. I definitely think that this group set the bar high and did one of the stronger presentations even when they had to go first and had no one else to go off of. Overall, good job on the project and the presentation!
