| Popis: | This chapter illustrates father–child interactions in early childhood development, which has been the subject of intense policy interest over the past two decades, but where the challenges for researchers are heightened by the difficulties of eliciting views from very small children. Father involvement in children's social and educational development during the early years is found to have a significant impact on developmental outcomes. Fathers are thought to encourage early years development through play and other action-based interactions that challenge children and expose them to the wider world. The chapter shows that fathers' observed behaviours stand in contrast with those of mothers, whose interactions with children are more often associated with care and routine ‘housekeeping’ tasks such as interactions with institutional settings. |
