Fathers are making the most of trying times to connect with their children and strengthen bonds. StarMetro shares the joys and challenges these men face in conjunction with Fathers Day tomorrow.

FATHERS Day is more than just an occasion to get dad a new tie or treat him to a nice meal.For some, when reflecting on the best gift they could have given their own fathers, the common response is “quality time spent together”.

Devoting precious moments together is even more important now with the Covid-19 pandemic in our midst, as strong paternal ties with children are precious and needed. The challenges, however, are immense, especially for fathers who are heads of the household or even single dads.
