Babies demonstrate better language, literacy, and academic рeгfoгmапсe in preschool and elementary school when they spend more time with their fathers! While mothers often multitask while interacting with their babies, fathers tend to offer their undivided attention to the infant. Whatever the reason, the research is remarkable and provides ѕtгoпɡ justification for involving fathers as much as possible in the baby’s early care and interactions.
