“…Particularly given the growing evidence of fathers' early influence on outcomes such as maternal and fetal health during the pregnancy and the birth, as well as later father involvement with his child (Alio et al, 2010;Cabrera et al, 2008;Plantin et al, 2011), efforts should be made to instill in fathers a sense of their own importance. Such a sense of fathering importance appears to be key to engaging fathers when mothers are not drawing them in.…”

Research increasingly indicates that father involvement during pregnancy influences outcomes for mothers, fathers, and children. However, little is known about what factors are associated with prenatal involvement. Here, the idea of fathers' possible selves was used to guide an investigation of the importance fathers assign to becoming a parent and mothers' expectations of father competence, and their individual and interactive associations with father reports of prenatal involvement. Neither variable was associated with prenatal involvement individually, but the interaction term was significant. When mothers viewed fathers as competent parents, fathers were uniformly highly involved. However, when mothers reported low levels of perceived father competence, then the level of prenatal involvement was significantly associated with fathering importance. Findings are discussed in terms of the need for dyadic research as well as their implications for interventions.

This involvement is also insisted on by expectant mothers (Widarsson et al .…”

“…In the previous section has been explained the importance of reinforcing father's role in education, because father is the head of the family, the decrease of mother's time and attention toward children's education, and the society stigma that proposes the main educator in a family is mother [2]. The reinforcing of father's role can be observed from many studies' results as follow.…”

“…This is the wrong perception and the mindset that should be straightened. The main assignment of a father is not just about economy things, but also as the determinant for family education's direction to develop a generation with merit [2]. If this stigma shifts, in the future, there will be a synergic collaboration between a father's and mother's role in children education, which in the end will create a generation with merit.…”

Abstract-Education is available anywhere and anytime for the whole life, so that the setting of this education happens in informal, formal and non-formal form. The education in family is a part of informal setting, it is the first and main education and plays a very big role in determining someone's life.The main educators in family are father and mother. In the society stigma, a father's figure is more emphasized as the breadwinner and a mother's figure is the educator or the caretaker in the family. In fact, a father's responsibility is not just as the breadwinner, but also responsible to educate the children to create a generation with merit. This writing will begin with the rationale of reinforcing father's role in family education. Then, the family's role in education, that is as the first and main education; father's role in education and proposing the studies and the relevant result of the researches: finding and discussion; and conclusion and suggestion.
