As a matter of fact, “l(fā)ife with father” has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a child’s progress or lack of progress in school. A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London, England, revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and acpanied their children on outings did better in schools than did those children whose fathers were not involved in these activities. The study monitored(監(jiān)測(cè) ) children born in the same week in March,1958, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling. It revealed that the children of actively involved fathers did better in reading and math than did children whose only involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been expected. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility. The study also suggested that the greatest level of fatherly parenting took place in the families of only one child. As the number of children and financial obligations increased, the father’s apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size of financial condition of the family, a father’s active participation in the child’s development made a definite difference in the child’s progress. The study further revealed that when the father was frequently away from home for the night, it had a bad effect on the child’s level in math and reading. However, if he worked on night shifts, it appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress. The data for the study was obtained primarily through interviews with parents, teachers and physicians. The information that evaluated the level of the father’s parenting performance came chiefly from observations of their wives. this article the author intends to say that ( ).
