It seems that more and more folks are sharing the message that fathers should be more involved in caring for their children. You may hear this message on TV, on the radio, where you worship, at school, at meetings, at work, and, especially, at home. Father involvement is defined as, men's “positive, wide-ranging, and active participation in their children's lives” (Marsiglio et al., 2000, p. 276).
