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 children s development and education has not been given adequate attention in Kenya. This book provides insights on how fathers are useful in enhancing children s education by getting involved in their educational activities. The book reveals that fathers who engage in their children s education influence how children perform in school activities. This book was written after a Doctoral research that was conducted on fathers involvement in children s education in Gucha District Kenya. The author believes that in the present age fathers must strengthen their role as parents to shape their children s 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 children s educational activities.
