Dad is a sacred title, how can you be a competent and good dad? We see that there are many children on TV who have very good relationships with their fathers, and there are many secrets that are not told to their mothers, but only to their fathers. This indicates that children have stronger trust in their fathers. If children do not have a confidant, they are prone to depression. So, how to be a good father that babies trust?
Child development psychology believes that infants' understanding of the world must be achieved through the "intermediary" of adults. If children do not interact with adults, their psychology cannot develop normally. In the development of infants, mothers often play a very important role, because mothers are the satisfiers of all the baby's physiological needs and often the "intermediary" between the baby and the objective world. Compared to mothers, fathers spend significantly less time paying attention to their babies. Dads usually focus their energy on their careers, and at most, they just go to the baby's crib to play around, and dads rarely think of hugging the baby. Sometimes when they return home, the child is already asleep, and the father can only crawl by the small bed and carefully examine it. Dad's carelessness made them actively reduce the number of times they get close to the baby.
How to be a good dad that babies can trust?
1. Appear in the baby's view with the mother.
Because in the initial vision of a baby's growth, the most visible thing is the mother's face. In the impression of a baby, this face is always filled with a gentle smile, and 'this person' always meets her various needs in a timely manner. Over time, the baby gave full trust to "this face" and "this person". Dad should also start from this and try to play with the baby as much as possible with his mother. You can also try to meet the needs of your baby under the guidance of your mother. Over time, the baby will increase their trust in their father.
2. Embrace the baby as much as possible.
Because only when a baby is held by an adult can she feel safe, and this sense of security is a necessary prerequisite for all her activities. So no matter how busy work is, how tired after work is, don't be afraid of waking up your baby and causing trouble. Dad should hold your baby as soon as he gets home, pat her with his hands, gently touch her, and play some simple games with her. This can not only make the baby happy, but also help the father relax his tired spirit during the fun with the baby. Regular physical contact can increase a baby's trust in their father.
3. Engage in more oral communication with infants.
Any stimulation, including movement and sound, can serve as a way to interact with babies. After infants hear adults' words, they will develop a need to communicate with them, and this need is the driving force for infants to learn language. A father's voice that is different from that of a mother often excites the baby, and over time, she will develop a sense of closeness to this sound, thereby creating a sense of closeness to the person who makes it.
Kind reminder: The above is about how to be a good dad that your baby trusts? A brief introduction to this question is actually not as simple as being a good father. Physical contact with children can increase their trust in themselves, and these dads must pay more attention.
