Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the narrations of fathers during a group meeting held after they had participated in childcare activities. This was done in order to learn how fathers think about child-rearing. The fathers, who have child attending the nursery, participate in childcare activities every year, after which they attend a group meeting. By analyzing the narrations of a total of 80 fathers who participated in the childcare activities from year 20XX to 20XX+3, the following words/subjects were found in the fathers' narrations of their experiences: <children>, <nursery>, <oneself>, <wife>. Additionally, their narrations differ based upon the age at which their child entered the nursery and the number of years they themselves have participated in the childcare activities.
