Parenting Project Guidelines

 

 

 

Choose one of the following topics for this project:

 

 

 

  1. Interview Fathers
    1. Locate and interview 3 males who have had a large role in raising children (biological, adopted, foster, step, grand, etc).
    2. Be sure to interview at least one father in each of the following age groups:

 

a.       20 to 40 years of age

 

b.      41 to 60 years of age

 

c.       61 + years of age

 

    1. Research the role of fathers in raising young children using the textbook and/or other sources.  Be sure to consult at least 5 separate professional sources.  Write a brief review of your findings and cite sources appropriately.
    2. Develop a list of 20 questions to ask the fathers.  Ask numerous open ended questions (opinion rather than right or wrong) to encourage the fathers to engage in lively discussion about their roles, opinions, things they did right/wrong, how parenting has changed, advice to today’s fathers, etc.  Questions may differ based on the age range of the father.
    3. Keep a journal of their responses during the interview.
    4. Write an 8-10 page reflection on what you learned and views expressed during the interview process and how this supports or fails to support what you found in the research.  Be sure to also submit the review of findings mentioned in #3 above.  Be sure to include a brief description of each father and their children (names, ages, family structure-roles within the family, jobs, etc).
