Father involvements getting more in to children development. Fathers become involved with their children for many different reason. One of the reason is income, which is associated with father involvement. Many fathers are start take care of children, or share more family work, because mothers are became employed, and earned more money. Some mothers are employed more hours, than the fathers are. According to Pleck " When mothers of school-aged children are employed more hours, their husband tend to do a greater portion of the child care and housework, and father tend to be more involved to the extent that they view their wives career prospects more positively"( Coltrane 439).That means that father need to spend more hours with his children. Fathers involvement in their children lives is very important to children well-being, also it is influential for child's future life changes. Fathers who are involved in their child's life will have a great impact on their child's development. Mosley writes "Preschool children with father who perform 40% or more of the within-family child care show more cognitive competence, more internal locus of control......Adolescents with involved fathers are more likely to have positive developmental outcomes such as self-control, self-esteem, life skills, and social competence..."(Coltrane 441). Fathers who spend quality time with their children, produce more secure, disciplining and successful children. A loving father can bring happiness to his children, that will affect the rest of his children's life in positive manner.

This is a good start as you include a claim and examples from Coltrane's reading. Also, you did well with the MLA documentation. But remember that you were asked to compose a paragraph, one paragraph, with a topic sentence that reflects the claim your group composed(you include this in your first mini paragraph). This claim must be supported with examples from the reading(you have this in your three mini paragraphs) but also you must account for counter arguments.
