child grows into an adult person.
And society is the third dynamic force in the process.
Society provides support and pressure for parents and children and can change in response to the needs and action of parents and children.
Parenting is the responsibility attached to parents from the time the child is born until ther grows up.
Parenting has an influence on all aspects of child development, both physical, emotional, social and cognitive development (Morrison, 2009:.
Parent in parenting has several definitions of father and mother, someone who will guide in a new life, a keeper, as well as a protecter.
A parent is someone who accompanies and guides all stages of a childAos growth, who cares for, protects, directs a childAos new life in every stage of its development (Brooks, 2011:.
Based on the quotes above, it can be concluded that parenting is not only carried out by parents but can also be contributed by people who are in the childAos enviroment or childrenAos daily lives, either in the form of caregivers or grandparents as well as family relatives.
Being a parents is one of the many human duties as a social being.
The integrity parents that is father and mother, in a family is needed in helping children to have and develop themselves.
A whole family provides a great opportunity for children to build trust in both parents.
If in the family there is a gap of relationships to be balanced with the quality and intensity of relationships so that the inadequacy of father or mother still felt its presence and lived psychologically.
Husbands-wife is a unitable separation of one with other, mutual support and complement in carrying out family functions.
In making a living, care and educate the child, husband and wife must be various However, if whatever one of the parents is husband or wife does not exist.
Many are found in real life in various places, a mother or father .

that raise his child alone or children raised in the absence of a father or mother who accompany.
How's Dad raised his child starting from caring for, educating, to earn a living on the judgment to be able to grow well being a child who can be proud of and boasts his parents.
Earning a living is a duty of a father, but a father will be difficult to undergo an obligation as a mother who takes care of and harnesses his child.
Therefore, a father should try to be a father and mother are good for his child.
Parents .
ingle parent.
, nurturing and raise their children without the help of the couple, whether it is husband and wife.
Single parent's, has a huge obligation in setting his family.
Single parents family have very complicated problems of families who have father and mother.
Single parents can occur due to death or divorce.
The death of one of the two parents is one of the conditions that is very likely to happen to every human life.
This is the cause of a person is forced to live life as a single parent and there is still another reason that is a difference of views, the principles or a bad experienced during making a house-than-to-day people sometimes leads to someone to choose from part of his partner or because the presence of a third person that forcing a separation must occur.
If indeed a separate couple because of divorce or death that has the child of the marriage, it will not be going to be a single pattern of the single parents in a permanent period or temporary time.
Many things behind the person prefer to become a single parents than in the death.
Experience of conflict in the household, whatever personally experienced or seeing the environment also becomes the cause of a person to be a single parent.
Being a single parent in a household is certainly not easy, especially for a father who is forced to take care of her child alone is divorced or his wife died.
This requires a heavy enough struggle to take care of and raising children including meeting the needs of family life.
The family split is a factual phenomenon that causes the occurrence of child development because it is not incompatible for parents.
Parenting is not only seen from real life but it can also be seen from literary works.
Literature reflects the various experiences, ideas, passion, of human beings in their daily life that express on several forms and styles of literary works.
Since literature directly derives from human life, it can increase our knowledge and experiences about human problems including values, morals, cultures, and human interest.
Literary works have several forms such as novel, drama, films and poem.
Film is a work of art that can be used as a medium of communication and a series of moving images recorded with sound that tells a story displayed on television or in the cinema (Tolok.

CONCLUSION
Bsed on the nlysis the writer conclude tht there re four fctors tht influence fther involvement in prenting, nmely, motivtion, skills nd confidence, socil support nd stress, nd institutionl fctors nd there re lso three dimensions of fther involvement in prenting, nmely pternl enggement, pternl ccessibility, nd pternl responsibility.
In the Ftherhood film, the writer finds tht there is the involvement of the chrcter Mtthew Logelin who plys the role of single fther who tkes cre of his child when still bby nd when his child grows up.
the Ftherhood film, the first is the motivtion fctor from Mtt's mother nd friends so tht he gets up nd doesn't continue to feel sd over the deth of his wife fter giving birth to their child.
Secondly, there is the skill nd confidence tht Mtt shows when he chnges dipers, nd gives food for his child.
The third is socil support, fmily support, workplce support, nd support from helth workers tht Mtt gets from those closest to him nd lso wht Mtt provides for his child.
This film lso shows the extrordinry dimensions of pternl enggement, ccessibility, nd responsibility tht Mtt gives to his children, is ble to educte children well, shows the close reltionship between fther nd children nd lso shows the struggle of gret single fther who cn do mny things including rise his child.
