In this June 14, 2017 photograph, Edward Yeates of Columbus spends "dad time" with his children, Christian, 7, below, Charity, 12, background, and Faith, 9, right, on the basketball court at First Baptist Church's Ministry Activities Center, in Columbus, Miss. Fatherhood, Yeates says, takes courage and energy. In addition to family activities, Yeates makes sure to spend "boy time" with his son and arrange weekly "dates" with his daughters. Yeates and his wife, Barbara, founded The Father's Child Ministry in 2004. (Luisa Porter/The Commercial Dispatch via AP)
