We read so much about a mum’s role in nurturing babies that it can be easy to forget that dad can play a part. It’s pretty usual these days for dad’s to be around and take an interest, sure, but recent evidence puts dads back on the front row of parenting with findings that show how they play a vital role in early baby development.
In his book “The Dad Factor” Richard Fletcher, a pioneer researcher on fathers’ role with young children, provides the hard evidence and practical guidance for fathering that builds children’s brains and capabilities.
New research into child development is producing some surprising findings. One is that in the first hours after birth a baby can be looking for its father. Another is that when fathers create a bond with their child from the earliest days this boosts the way their child’s brain develops.
Fathers are told that they should be ‘involved’ with their baby but not how to go about building the connection. This book provides the nuts and bolts of bonding, showing how the effect of a dad simply ‘playing around’ with his child can alter the pathways formed by the neurons in the brain of that growing infant. (So fathers playing ‘peek-a-boo’ are not wasting time but doing the real stuff of parenting!)
By explaining how play wrestling, which comes naturally to most fathers, not only builds bones and muscles but also develops social skills “The Dad Factor” offers guidance for the fathers of high-energy mini-warriors as well those with boys who are shy or ‘different’. The importance of father-daughter play wrestling is also made clear.
