Opis

Family involvement has been a key factor in early childhood education for many years. But early childhood educators tend to engage more with mothers than fathers. The study of fathers involvement in childrens development and education has not been given adequate attention in Kenya. This book provides insights on how fathers are useful in enhancing childrens education by getting involved in their educational activities. The book reveals that fathers who engage in their childrens education influence how children perform in school activities. This book was written after a Doctoral research that was conducted on fathers involvement in childrens education in Gucha District Kenya. The author believes that in the present age fathers must strengthen their role as parents to shape their childrens development and learning. Parents, teachers, trainers, policy makers and early childhood experts will find this book useful in encouraging fathers to be actively involved in childrens educational activities.
