6 benefits of dad with baby
1, more courage and confidence
Psychological research shows that the lack of male education often makes children show sentimentality, cowardice, timidity and fear of things, as well as a lonely personality, inferiority and other characteristics.
Dad is the superman in the minds of children, the source of children's sense of security and dependence. Having more company from dad can play more role models, so that babies have more courage and confidence to face strange worlds, and can actively cope with difficult problems when encountered.
2. Promote intellectual development
Studies have found that the level of children's intellectual development is closely related to the closeness of father's contact. Psychologists have pointed out that children who have been in contact with their fathers for no less than 2 hours in a day have higher IQs than those who have less than 6 hours of contact within a week.
3. Establish gender awareness
Fathers with babies can help children better establish gender awareness, realize the difference between men and women, and let children learn to take care of their own bodies.
With Dad's company, boys are more like boys and girls are more like girls. For the daughter, the baby not only affects the daughter's view of mate selection, but also affects the establishment of the daughter's interpersonal relationship. The companionship of the father allows the girl to know how to get along with the opposite sex and enjoy the love and companionship of the opposite sex. For the son, the father's company makes the boy more adventurous and exploratory.
4. Cultivate interpersonal relationships
Mothers show a gentle, caring and meticulous side when raising their children. In the process of children's growth, without the company of their fathers, children will not be able to obtain extensive, enterprising, and extroverted characteristics from their fathers, and they will naturally appear introverted and weak when they get along with classmates and friends. Therefore, the company of the father has a positive impact on the child's future personality development and the cultivation of interpersonal relationships.
5. Develop self-control and self-discipline habits
