Abstract

The mental health of men, particularly fathers, plays a crucial role in shaping family dynamics and the success of children's education. This study examines three main aspects: (1) the changing role of fathers in the family and children's education; (2) the concepts and factors influencing men's mental health; and (3) the impact of fathers' mental health on family harmony and children's educational development. The results indicate that a father's role extends beyond breadwinning to providing care, emotional support, and involvement in children's learning. Fathers' mental health is influenced by various factors, such as economic pressure, patriarchal culture, social demands, and the burden of family responsibilities. These factors can impact fathers' emotional stability, which in turn affects the quality of family relationships. Furthermore, fathers' mental health significantly influences children's cognitive, social, and emotional development and determines the level of family harmony. Therefore, fathers' mental health is a fundamental element in creating a harmonious, supportive, and conducive family environment for optimizing children's education. This study emphasizes the importance of holistic strategies and cross-sectoral support to maintain family mental health, particularly for men as one of the main pillars of the family system.
