“…Positive association between father engagement in child development and skill acquisition was found by De Falco et al (2008) and Elder et al (2005), yet less positive results are noted elsewhere (Elder et al, 2003;Stevenson and Crnic, 2013). In reference to engagement with service providers, some fathers are presented as frustrated and angry with the educational system (Bray et al, 1995) while others positively engaged in father specific programmes (Elder et al, 2005;Vadasy et al, 1985Vadasy et al, , 1986.…”

The aim of this article is to review the literature related to fathers of people who have an intellectual disability (ID). Electronic databases and citation tracking were used to collate data using key terms such as fathers, adults with an ID, learning disability, mental handicap and developmental disability. Relevant articles were analysed and compared for commonality and difference. Eight themes emerged from the literature: response to diagnosis, varied response to ID, concern for the future, work, roles and relationships, impact of fathers upon child development, fathers and service providers, fathers' needs and coping strategies. This review of the literature presents areas of similarity and divergence and highlights the lack of information that relates specifically to fathers of adults. There are clear messages to service providers to support the inclusion of fathers and the need for further research in this area is indicated.

“…Most studies have not specifically examined the types of strategies that fathers use to help their toddlers regulate their emotions or pay attention. Instead, studies have looked at broad or global measures of father involvement, such as residential status or intrusiveness, and have reported associations with higher levels of self-regulation or socioemotional development (e.g., Stevenson & Crnic, 2013;Vogel et al, 2006). In a study of father-child interactions in an ethnic-minority sample, Owen et al (2013) measured father-child interaction quality and found that sensitive and stimulating fathering was a unique contributor to children's emerging response-inhibition skills.…”

The current study explored the bidirectional association of children's individual characteristics, fathers' control strategies at 24-months and children's regulatory skills at pre-kindergarten (pre-K). Using a sample of low-income minority families with 2-year-olds from the Early Head Start Evaluation Research Program (n = 71) we assessed the association between child gender and vocabulary skills, fathers' control strategies at 24-months (e.g., regulatory behavior and regulatory language), and children's sustained attention and emotion regulation at pre-kindergarten. There were three main findings. First, fathers' overwhelmingly use commands (e.g., do that) to promote compliance in their 24-month old children. Second, children's vocabulary skills predict fathers' regulatory behaviors during a father-child interaction, whereas children's gender predicts fathers' regulatory language during an interaction. Third, controlling for maternal supportiveness, fathers' regulatory behaviors at 24-months predict children's sustained attention at pre-kindergarten whereas fathers' regulatory language at 24-months predicts children's emotion regulation at pre-kindergarten. Our findings highlight the importance of examining paternal contributions to children's regulatory skills.

“…In this way, the child's later preferences and play choices are gradually formed and are seen in the kindergarten (Carlson, 2011;Flanders et al, 2009;Stevenson, 2014). Thus, under the impact of the "gender habitus", boys prefer RTP to a greater extent than the girls and, indeed, they choose competitive power plays, whereas girls choose lighter forms of RTP (Pellegrini & Smith, 1998;Storli, 2013).…”

The first purpose of this research, which was carried out using questionnaire and semi-structures interview, was to examine the types of Rough and Tumble Play (RTP) that are played in the Greek kindergarten school. The second aim of this study was to identify the kindergarten teachers' perceptions on RTP as well as their reactions in the cases that pupils are engaged in RTP in their schools. The types of RTP that pinpointed in the Greek kindergarten schools were verbal teasing, punching and hitting with or without physical contact, fighting/wrestling, pile on, chasing, spinning, tickling, rolling around, open hand slapping and protect -rescue games. The findings of the research, in which 67 female kindergarten teachers took part, suggested that the forms of RTP that include competition and intense physical contact are played almost exclusively by boys. More specifically these types of RTP are fighting/wrestling, punching and hitting, open hand slapping and pile on, which, according to the kindergarten teachers, correspond to boys and they put them in the list of the forbidden plays, as reported by the school rules they establish in their schools. Thus, when the kindergarten teachers realize that their students play some of the specific RTP intervene in order to stop it, so that there is not a possibility of injury.

Intrusive fathering, children's self‐regulation and social skills: a mediation analysis

Abstract: Intrusive fathering appears to carry unique risk for the development of social skills in children with DD. Findings are discussed as they related to theories of fatherhood and parenting in children with DD, as well as implications for intervention and future research.
