Self-regulation in early childhood, including the ability to regulate one's own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, are associated with a range of outcomes including academic performance, and social development. Research has extensively examined the effects of mother's parental involvement and parenting experiences, such as parenting stress and self-efficacy, on child self-regulation skills and overall development. Related work has additionally found that, in general, fathers make a unique contribution to child development. However, there is limited understanding about the parental involvement and parenting experiences of fathers and how those experiences are connected to the development of child self-regulation skills. This chapter will (1) explore the various ways in which father involvement is defined and measured within the literature, and (2) review the literature and early research on the influence father involvement can have in the development of child self-regulation. The study of father involvement is an ever-growing and evolving area of research as more is understood about the differences in parenting experiences including parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy, romantic relationship satisfaction, and coparenting satisfaction between mothers and fathers. How father involvement and parenting experiences can impact child development, particularly child self-regulation, is essential to understanding how to best support families and enhance educational success.
