This qualitative study uses family observations and semi - structured interviews with 23 women to explore the relationship management work of building and maintaining father - child relationships. Five women indicated they did not engage in any efforts to enhance father - child relationships ; 18 women reported doing some type of father - child relationship management work, although the extent of such efforts appeared to vary among these women. Several strategies to facilitate positive father - child involvement were identified : offering suggestions for joint father - child activities, relaying information about positive feelings, praising fathers for their involvement with children, organizing the family schedule / environment, and creating or maintaining positive images of fathers. When fathers and children were perceived to be unhappy with one another, various peace - keeping strategies designed to mediate angry / hurtful feelings were noted : anticipating and preventing unhappy feelings, separating fathers and children during disputes, and gathering and relaying information to encourage reconciliation.
