This paper discusses the role of fatherhood in relation to good social behaviour of children. Objectives
of the study were to find out fatherhood practices of secondary school students and analyze the
practices in relation to good social behaviour of children to explore the practices that are effective to
improve the behaviour of children but fathers mostly do not adopt them. The study was completed
following the procedure of survey method. A sample of the study was 50 schools, 250 secondary
school students (14 to 15 years of age) and 250 teachers who were selected following the procedure of
multistage random sampling. Tools of the study were two questionnaires depending upon items on a
4-point scale; fatherhood practices scale and social behaviour scale. Data about fatherhood practices
was collected from children while data about social behaviour was collected from teachers who were
requested to rate different behaviours of students in different situations on the basis of their
observation. Questionnaires to students and their teachers were distributed in schools and collected
back on the same day. The students and teachers were informed about the objectives of the study and
data collection before the distribution of questionnaires to them. Data of study was analyzed
calculating mean score and correlation between scores of groups related to fatherhood practice and
their social behaviour scores noted on the basis of their teachers’ observation by applying statistics
using SPSS on the computer. Results indicated that stressing children to be systematic in studies and
helping them in studies, encourage children to freely express themselves and educate them about
dealing to elders/ friends of parents, help children for in time management for study and play, spend
free time with children and never ignore the misbehavior of children with anyone, talk with children
about their feelings, likes and dislikes, and criticize them for their improvement are positively related
to the good social behavior of children but unfortunately fathers poorly adopt these practices.
Therefore, need is to focus on planning to educate fathers for effective fatherhood practices.
