British government has started new project to help men manage responsibilities of fatherhood. Fathers will be able to attend workshops and take lessons on how to be better father. new scheme hopes to slow down rate of family breakdown in U.K. Over million British children are growing up without father. A survey said that 16-year-old in Britain is more likely to own a smartphone than have a father. One of project's leaders, Iain Duncan Smith, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper that: "It is not only bond between a mother and her child which makes a real difference to a child's life. It is the bond between father and his child too."

new classes will be for men only. They will prepare fathers for how having new baby will change their relationship. Lessons will help new fathers to develop relationship and communication skills. Other classes will help them to understand what can go wrong and where to go for further support. Mr Smith wants rate of divorce in U.K. to go down. He said: "Divorce does harm to children, affecting everything from school work to eating habits, as well as their relationship with mum and dad." He spoke of importance of helping families, saying: "If we are serious about promoting strong society, then we also have to be serious about seeking to support and strengthen families."
