Responsible Fatherhood

The article reflects the content and results of the study of responsible parenthood (in particular, responsible fatherhood) among modern parents. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of basic ideas in the field of studying the family as the most important social institution (works of M. Mead, D. Olson, K. Vitaker, A.Ya. Varga, Yu. Khamyalyaynen; V.N. Druzhinina, I. S. Kona, P. S. Lesgaft, A. S. Makarenko, S. Yu. Meshcheryakova, A. B. Orlov, K. D. Ushinsky, A. V. Chernikova and others); parenthood, as the most important social function implemented in the framework of family education (works by G.V. Burmenskaya, E.I. Isenina, I.S. Kona, E.V. Poptsova, E.O. Smirnova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, EG Eidemiller, etc.); motherhood and fatherhood as objective manifestations of parenthood (research by A.I. Antonov, A.Ya. Varga, V.N. Druzhinin, R.Zh. Mukhamedrahimova, L.F. Obukhova, R.V. Ovcharova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, V.V. Stolin, O.A. Shagraeva, L.B.Schneider and others). A generalized analysis of the work of scientists allows us to assume that responsible fatherhood, by which we tend to understand the balance of different styles, types, techniques and technologies of raising a child in integration with a high degree of trust in relations with him, the ability and desire to provide all the conditions necessary for his full , comprehensive and harmonious development, will be formed more efficiently and productively subject to the targeted implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support of this process a. The need to develop such a program to support the process of creating responsible paternity was confirmed by the results of our diagnostic study, the course and results of which are presented in this publication.

This article illustrates the different ways in which Professor Bill Atkin has shown where family law legislative reforms have fallen short in making the rights and well-being of children the paramount consideration in family law disputes, and properly taking account of children's views on matters that affect them. It examines Atkin's thought-provoking analysis of the introduction of the Care of Children Act 2004 and the changes made in recent years to the Child Support Act 1991, the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 and the Family Court system as a whole. The article also explores Atkin's approval of the amendments to the Crimes Act 1961 preventing parents from using physical discipline against their children for the purposes of correction. Overall, the article highlights Atkin's extensive contribution to family law and demonstrates what needs to be changed to ensure New Zealand family law and society becomes more child-focused in the future.
