Abstract

The active involvement of both parents in parenting is critical to the development of early childhood. In Indonesia, however, fathers are often less engaged in child-rearing due to the perception that their primary role is to provide financially. This seminar aimed to raise awareness among fathers in Tanjunganom Village, Rowosari Subdistrict, Kendal Regency, about the importance of their involvement in early childhood parenting. The seminar was structured to include presentations, discussions, and ongoing support. The outcomes indicated a significant improvement in fathers’ knowledge and their ability to balance time between work and childcare. Children with more actively engaged fathers exhibited improved social, emotional, and cognitive development. The results reinforce the importance of fathers’ involvement in parenting as a shared responsibility between both parents.

Abstract

The presence of both parents plays a crucial role in the development of early childhood, especially in creating an environment that supports their optimal growth and development. Ideally, fathers and mothers work together in parenting with a balanced division of roles. However, in Indonesia, father involvement is often less than optimal because of the view that the father's main task is to earn a living. This study aims to improve the understanding and knowledge of the community, especially in Tanjunganom Village, about the importance of father involvement in child care. Through seminars and mentoring held by the KKN POSKO 5 UIN Walisongo Semarang team, fathers were given insight into the division of roles, monitoring strategies, and evaluation in child care. The results of this activity showed an increase in knowledge among fathers regarding their role in parenting, as well as their ability to balance time between work and child care. Children who are cared for by actively involved fathers show progress in social, emotional, cognitive, and affective development. In conclusion, father involvement in early childhood care is very important to support children's overall development. Fathers who are active in parenting have a stronger relationship with their children, which ultimately makes children more sensitive to their emotions and environment. Therefore, it is highly recommended for fathers to understand that child care is a shared responsibility between father and mother.
