Dear Mr. Dad: I'm a super-involved at-home dad of a 1-year-old daughter. We spend a lot of time together and it's usually pretty fun. But sometimes I have a feeling that she's bored, which isn't surprising, because, honestly, sometimes I'm pretty bored myself. Got any ideas of how I can keep her entertained? A: Wow, this question takes me back a few decades to when I was a first-time dad and had the exact same worry. Fortunately, I was able to overcome it-and I know you will too.

Dear Healthy Men: I know from reading your column that men’s lifespan is shorter than women’s. But how much of that has to do with biology and how much with males’ behavior and socialization? A: Great question! Although the simple biological fact (nature) of being born male increases boys’ and men’s overall health risks, the behavioral choices (nurture) they make are at least as important.

Although the simple biological fact (nature) of being born male increases boys' and men's overall health risks, the behavioral choices (nurture) they make are at least as important. This means that trans men and others who identify as men, while not biologically male, may also experience the behavioral disadvantages of being male. On average, males of all ages are more likely than females to engage in behaviors that increase the risk of disease, injury and death.

A6: They (& all of us) should encourage elected officials to make men’s health a priority. One giant step is to create a federal Office of Men’s Health. There are 5 for women’s health but 0 for men. Shocking, since men’s lifespan is 5.25 years shorter than women’s. #Dadication
