This book will serve the needs of students and future professionals who want to achieve positive results by involving fathers in early childhood programs. Detailed strategies are laid out and many case examples, as well as sample fun and educational activities, demonstrate the many successes that can be achieved and how to achieve them. The authors of Fathers and Early Childhood Programs also present the results of 33 in-depth interviews in which qualitative data was collected on this subject. Historical and theoretical perspectives complement the practical suggestions about working with fathers, early childhood programs staff and the community to facilitate increased father and family involvement.
