Father's Day Special - What Makes A Good Dad?
Manage episode 365878829 series 3411826
“We know that babies can attach to more than one parent equally, and also that the attachment that fathers have with their children not only is good for the children, but also is good for the dads. It actually physically changes the makeup of your brain.”
In this Father’s Day special, My First Five Years co-founders Jennie Johnson and Alistair Bryce-Clegg are joined by Jason Heron and Jordan Piano from the Parenting Tools Podcast to celebrate dads, to abolish myths around the role of fathers and to discuss what it means to be a ‘good’ dad. You’ll hear about dads’ wellbeing, how research is challenging our assumptions about the role of fathers, and five top tips for dads in the early years.
