The U.K. will start a new project to help men with fatherhood. Men can take lessons on how to be a better parent. The project is to reduce family breakdown in the U.K. Over a million British children have no father at home. A 16-year-old is more likely to own a smartphone than have a father. A spokesperson said the bond between a father and his child was very important for children as they grow up.

The new classes will be for men only. They will look at how a baby can change relationships. There will also be lessons on communication skills, possible problems and where to get help. The U.K. wants the divorce rate to go down. Divorce harms children. It affects school work, eating habits and relations with parents. A spokesman said the government had to "be serious about seeking to support and strengthen families".

Back to the fatherhood lesson.
