My daughter Xiaoman is currently 10 months old and I take care of her during the day. Every night at eight o\’clock, when my teammates come home from get off work, I will try to let him have time alone with my daughter, such as telling stories, playing games, or helping Xiaoman learn to walk, until she goes to bed at 10 o\’clock. Although I admit that this is also because I want to be lazy and watch TV dramas to relax, but more importantly, I hope that my father can spend more time with his children and create their own parent-child time. My good intentions are backed by science: Research led by Dr. Michael Yorgman, associate professor of clinical pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, shows that children who interact more with their fathers generally have higher IQs, better academic performance, and better personalities. They are optimistic, have better language skills, and are less prone to negative emotions. The University of Newcastle in the UK also conducted a follow-up survey and found that children who have been with their fathers for a long time have higher IQs and stronger communication skills. Dr. Daniel Nettle, the leader of this study, pointed out that father\’s involvement in childhood has a positive impact on the development of children\’s skills and abilities, and these effects even last until adulthood. The \”Law of Diminishing Talent\” tells us that children have multiple potentials from birth, but the degree of development of these potentials depends on the guidance and education of parents. If these potentials are not discovered and cultivated in time, they may gradually weaken or even disappear. After understanding this, I became even more determined to let my teammates participate more in raising children. What are the insurmountable benefits of being a father raising a baby? To be honest, during the process of researching information, I found several reasons that were quite enlightening. 01Dad’s company can expand the child’s range of perception due to differences in brain structure between men and women. Men are naturally adventurous, while women are naturally more conservative. For example, my daughter is only ten months old and has just started to learn to walk. When facing a step, I will stop her because of the danger: \”This is not allowed, she will fall.\” Her teammates would encourage her: \”It\’s okay, daddy will help you, be brave.\” Even this small difference in reaction can show the completely different thinking of men and women in raising children. If a father often takes care of his children, he will have a different experience than the mother, which will inevitably bring richer stimulation to the child\’s brain, making the connections between brain neurons closer and expanding the child\’s range of perception. They will understand that adults\’ expectations vary from person to person, and then learn to adjust their behavior in front of different people and different environments, so that their children can better integrate into the group when they go to school, and can better adapt to society after work. 02 Dads love sports, which helps the development of children’s brains. The hormone levels in men are extremely high, which is why men generally have better energy than women. Therefore, men generally love sports and various adventurous activities. Compared with mothers who prefer quiet, fathers are more willing to take their children to play outdoors and look for a variety of exciting and adventurous outdoor games. These behaviors can increase blood flow to the brain and increase the activity of hippocampal neural factors (in charge of memory), thereby stimulating the development of the child\’s brain. In addition, exercise can also promote the production of more dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine in the body. With the help of these neurotransmitters, children\’s memory, concentration and thinking ability, will be greatly improved. These are all important abilities required for learning. Academic masters do not appear for no reason, and their skills are actually in places you can\’t see. 03 The effect of a poor father reading with his children is several times better than that of his mother. Currently, my children are still young and have never been exposed to picture books, so I don’t have a deep feeling about this. I just got the knowledge when searching for information. But after chatting with friends, I found that this is indeed the case. A friend said that her child has developed the habit of reading picture books every night before going to bed since she was over 1 year old. At first, her mother read to her. Her mother’s voice was calm and she held the child in her arms very gently every time. At first, the child liked it quite a lot, and sometimes fell asleep while talking. However, after it continued for a while, he found that he was tired of it and began to reject it physically. By chance, his father asked him to try it. His tone of voice was very different from his mother\’s, and he also exaggeratedly imitated the plot of the story with his body movements, which made the child laugh. He actually picked up the picture book on his own initiative the next day. Let Dad talk. A friend said: Dad’s completely different recitation effect can stimulate children’s curiosity, and judging from later feedback, the memory effect is much better than that given by mother. 04 When a father takes care of a baby, it will increase the child\’s sense of experience. When a mother takes care of a baby, when encountering any dangerous factors, she will first think of \”escape\”, \”stop\”, and \”retreat\”, and use blocking methods to isolate them. For example, in order to prevent children from falling, they are prohibited from climbing heights, and in autumn and winter, they go out less often to prevent them from getting sick, and they are not allowed to come into contact with anything that may contain germs. This still confirms the difference in brain structure between men and women, and women are \”conservative.\” In this regard, maybe men have a slightly better brain circuit than men who are careless and single-minded. They don’t care whether they are high or not, dangerous or not, have bacteria or not, or whether they will get sick. Anyway, just join in and have fun, too. It’s high, it’s okay, daddy will climb with you! This will undoubtedly complement the mother and add some experience to the child. Of course, you also need to be sure, and you still have to consider more dangerous things. It has to be said that parents have their own merits. In addition to these points that are quite subversive to cognition, there are some clichéd advantages of fathers raising children: children raised by fathers are more independent, have stronger self-control and willpower, are more adventurous and have the courage to explore… We will not discuss these anymore. I won’t go into details, but it turns out that dad is the little expert in raising children! Mothers, stop complaining and saying, \”There is no danger, dad is the biggest danger\” or \”Dad takes care of the baby, just stay alive\”. They are a bit rough. Although their \”free range\” model seems very unreliable, it has a role that we cannot replace. In order to optimize the growth of our children, we must try our best to encourage our teammates and let them participate in the family. \”The great cause of raising children\” is the kingly way. Written at the end, of course, I am not giving these examples to excuse mothers. It is even more wrong to think that since fathers have so many benefits in raising children, it is better to leave the children to teammates, which will make it easier for themselves. of. Children are like saplings. The growth of a sapling is inseparable from the sunshine and the moisture of rain and dew. Parents are the sunshine and rain and dew for their children. If you want your children to grow up to be warm and determined, healthy and active, wise andCourageous children need the company of their parents. The relationship between parents plays an important role in the growth of children. The best education is the harmonious relationship between parents. This is more important than how many games you take your children to play, how much you go outdoors, and how much materials you give them. When the relationship between parents is good, the child\’s psychology will naturally be stable, the whole person will feel relaxed, and the brain will use all its power on its growth instead of defense. Finally, I thought of this iron law of family relationships on the Internet: the happiness of a child depends on the mother; and the happiness of the mother depends on the father; the father loves the mother, and the mother loves the child, thus forming a wonderful cycle of family love. Think about 99% of the happy families around you. Isn’t it amazingly accurate?
