The role a Super Mom could play to strengthen the daddy-baby bond
Care, inspiration, and participation: three keys to father-child
relationships. Even of some of them find it hard to express themselves most of
the fathers care about their children.
According to sociologist Lewis Yablonsky, a man's fathering style by his enthusiasm for being a father, his own father's comportment, how the mass media projects a father’s image, his profession, his personality, the way family members relate to each other, and the number of children he has.
In a 1980 Gallup poll, six out of ten fathers said their families were
"the most important element of my life at this time." Only 8 percent
said their families were unimportant to them. When asked what they found most
satisfying about their families, fathers rated "children,"
"closeness," and "being together" as personally important.
We should recognize, while talking about the daddy-baby bond, that the mother plays an important role in strengthening the relationship between the two of them.
1- Encourage your
husband to take in charge of a feeding or two during the day. Store pumped milk,
if you’re breastfeeding, and let your husband give the baby the bottle while
holding him close to his chest and looking in his eyes to allow the little one
to gaze up at him.
2- Let him take
in-charge of the night shifts. Not only you will get more sleep but he will get
to spend more time with his child and enjoy the preciousness of childcare.
3- Stop being the
first to go hold the baby when he cries, let your husband play a role in
soothing her tears. Try singing to her, walking her around, gently rocking, or
find the closest pacifier for her to suck on. She must learn that Mom isn't the
only one who can give her what she needs.
4- Humor is
infectious. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases
happiness and intimacy that is why your husband should try his best to add
little humor to his relationship with his baby: silly faces and peekaboo games
could work like a charm at early ages.
5- Be the one to
create that precious, every day, family time. With work and school, you will
hardly find the time to bond with your children so create a time to take a walk
all together, play a board game, dance or watch a nice family movie.
