The entry of women into the labor market and the modernization of society caused changes in the family. Roles that were previously clearly divided between the breadwinner father and housewife mother are now intertwined. Numerous studies show that fathers are increasingly involved in raising children and are intrinsically motivated to do so. The aim of this paper is to analyze the perception of fathers, mothers and children about the involvement of the father in the upbringing of the child. The research was conducted using the focus group method on a sample of seven families. From the research goal, five research questions emerged. The attitudes of fathers and mothers about the following were examined: the importance of father's involvement during pregnancy and childbirth; the views of fathers, mothers and children about the activities in which fathers are most often involved with children; the perception of fathers, mothers and children about the way father expresses emotions and handles the emotions of their children; how fathers and mothers see that the child is affected by the father's involvement; the fathers' and mothers' views on the support the father receives, and the fathers' views on the importance of parenting education. The results show that most fathers and mothers consider the involvement of the father during pregnancy and at birth to be important. All fathers, mothers and children agree that playing is the dominant activity that fathers carry out with their children. Fathers and mothers alike affirm that fathers are much more likely to show positive emotions in front of children and are coping more easily with the positive emotions of their child. Children express positive and negative emotions equally in front of their mother and father. Fathers and mothers see the father's influence on the child reflected in the child's expression of a desire to spend time with the father. Mothers, to a greater extent than fathers, feel that the father does not have enough support in fulfilling his fatherly role. Most fathers state that parenting is guided by instinct and they do not see the importance of parenting education.
