“…In Kwok et al. 's () study, it is important to note that marital satisfaction moderated the effect of fathering self‐efficacy on paternal involvement among children aged 2–6 years old. Literature on paternal involvement not only found that marital satisfaction encouraged paternal involvement (Kwok et al., ) but also that problematic couple relationships (Kitzmann, ) and maternal gatekeeping (Schoppe‐Sullivan, Brown, Cannon, Mangelsdorf, & Sokolowski, ) were factors that reduced paternal involvement.…”

Fathers (first-time and experienced) who were involved during their infant's birth were also involved at 6-month postpartum. Healthcare professionals may encourage paternal involvement through teaching fathers infant care skills during the antenatal period, especially first-time fathers as they may be lacking in such skills, which may hinder their parenting satisfaction. Paternal involvement throughout the perinatal period can be enforced by healthcare professionals to promote paternal involvement.

“…Marital satisfaction was a significant positive predictor of father's involvement in child rearing (Kwok, Ling, Leung, & Li, 2013). A father with higher marital satisfaction might invest more time and effort in childcare under his wife's encouragement.…”

This paper reports on the results of a study (n = 113 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) that examined the effects of the children's perception of the social support (PSS) they receive from their mothers, fathers, teachers, and friends on their sense of competence and hope. PSS explained 13% of the children's overall sense of competence and 4% of their sense of hope. In the perspective of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the amount of maternal support, both in terms of importance and availability, was higher than that of their paternal support.However, the results of a multiple regression analysis have shown that paternal support accounted for 3% of the variance in the children's overall sense of competence and 5% in the variance of their physical competence. PSS from teachers had significantly explained 5%, 4%, and 4% of the variance in the children's overall, social, and physical competence, respectively. The PSS from friends significantly explained 7% of the variance in the children's cognitive competence and 4% of the variance in hope. Theoretical and clinical implications of the study are discussed. KEYWORDS children's perspective, Chinese children of ADHD, hope, perceived social support, perception of competence

“…For example, these programs tend to be designed for and marketed to women rather than men, and they are often offered at times and in formats that appeal to women more than men (Fletcher, 2001). For example, programs should attempt to enhance fathers' sense of parenting efficacy, given that higher paternal self-efficacy positively affects father involvement as well as children's social-emotional outcomes (Baxter & Smart, 2011;Giallo, Treyvaud, Cooklin, & Wade, 2012;Kwok, Ling, Leung, & Li, 2013). For example, programs should attempt to enhance fathers' sense of parenting efficacy, given that higher paternal self-efficacy positively affects father involvement as well as children's social-emotional outcomes (Baxter & Smart, 2011;Giallo, Treyvaud, Cooklin, & Wade, 2012;Kwok, Ling, Leung, & Li, 2013).…”

Dads Tuning In to Kids: Preliminary Evaluation of a Fathers' Parenting Program

et al. 2016

We investigated outcomes of Dads Tuning In to Kids, a new seven‐session group program targeting paternal emotion‐socialization practices, which are related to children's social and emotional functioning. In a randomized control trial with 162 fathers of children between 3 and 6 years of age, intervention fathers (n = 87) and waitlist control fathers (n = 75) completed questionnaires at baseline (pre‐program) and 10 weeks later (post‐program). Compared to control fathers, intervention fathers statistically increased in empathy, encouragement of emotion expression, and parenting efficacy, and decreased in emotion‐dismissing beliefs, dismissive reactions to children's negative emotions, and hostile parenting responses. They also reported improved child behavior. These findings offer preliminary support for this program for fathers.
