Dads and Male Carers

There are huge benefits to children of all ages having a significant made adult who is positively involved in their lives.  Positive male involvement at any stage in a child’s life is beneficial for both baby’s and mums wellbeing.  Men can become involved in a child’s life from very early on, even from early pregnancy.  Scans and research show that even in the womb babies respond to familiar voices.

As a Father/male carer you can play an invaluable role in your child’s life to build a good foundation for learning all these new skills.  Evidence has shown that children who have a good bond or attachment their parents and who receive approporiate stimulation for example through play and interaction have good foundations for learning.
