In celebration of Father’s Day this Sunday, we’re sharing a thoughtful reflection from guest blogger Mike Whitaker (“Whit”) on what it means to stay engaged with our children in a rapidly changing world.

Inspired by an interaction during a PEN-hosted Navigating AI workshop, this piece explores the challenges - and importance - of showing up for our kids, even in uncharted territory.

Today and every day, we celebrate all of you incredible dads and father figures who continue to show up. We see you, we honor you, and we’re here to support you and your parenting journey.

💙Happy Father's Day!💙
