The Involvement of Fathers with School-Age Children in the Home: Dimensions and Forms of Fathers’ Involvement in the Home

Summary/Abstract: In our interview research, we are looking at school-age fathers’ child-rearing and other child-related activities at home. We are looking for answers to how fathers living in Hungary perceive, what activities and forms they are involved in at home, and how they think they contribute to their children’s development. The framework for the questions of the semi-structured interviews and the analysis of the conducted interviews was provided by the home involvement dimensions laid out by Pleck (2010, 2012). Our sample consisted of 18 fathers with school-aged children. Based on our results, fathers see their contribution to their child’s development mostly in physical activities (e.g., sports, excursions), in the transfer of knowledge through experience/practice, and in challenging the child.
