Benefits of Fathers Being InvolvedWhile we can spout off a great deal of research showing direct connections between moms being involved in their child’s education, there are a number of benefits that are directly related to fathers being involved.
THEIR CHILDREN: • Do better in school and enjoy it • Half of their children get mostly “A”s as compared to only a third when dads are not involved • Half as likely to repeat a grade • Much less likely to get suspended • More likely to participate in extracurricular activities • Are higher-performing, more responsible adults • More interested in exploring the world around them • Do better on standardized tests THE MEN THEMSELVES: • Are more involved at home • Are more likely to visit museums, etc • Feel more important in their child’s life SCHOOLS BENEFIT • With higher teacher morale • Teacher’s get more family support • Parents have a higher opinion of teachers • Schools have better reputations in the community |
