Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in a child’s growth and development. The interest you show, your interactions with them and the guidance you provide all matters. These elements and more help influence how your child thinks, feels and interacts. 🏌️♀️ Be involved. What being involved means to you depends on your situation and the child’s age and stage. However you show up, it’s important to do so. Research shows children whose fathers are actively involved, nurturing and playful tend to have better control over their emotions and behavior and do better in school. 🏋️♀️Establish and be confident in your own style. Stereotypes in many cultures cast women as warm caregivers and men as distant providers. Maybe that works for you and your partner, if you have one, maybe it doesn’t. The reality is, you and your co-parent, if there is one, can define your roles in the way that works for you both. 🏄♀️ Work as a team. If you’re raising the child with a partner, whether you live together or not, your child will benefit from your cooperation. Be as consistent as possible regarding expectations and rules for the child. 🚶 Avoid putting your child in the middle or trying to gain favor. Instead, communicate openly, kindly and constructively. Work together privately — out of the child’s earshot — to make important decisions and resolve disagreements. #beingadad #tipsandtricks #caregiver
