In fact, dad&#8217;s physical presence at the birth of his child increases the likelihood his child will be a healthy newborn. It also means mom is likely to be healthier. On the other hand, when dad is absent, baby and mom are less likely to be healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the last two decades research has suggested that fathers provide necessary exploration and play which helps the emotional development of a child. This development directly helps a child with self-regulation and the ability to manage challenging situations for the duration of their childhood and adult life. On the other hand, it is noted that mothers tend to be more of the comforter in times of distress. For centuries evidence has shown us that the more both parents are involved in the upbringing of children the more a child will thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24\/7 Dad\u00ae is an evidence-based fatherhood program used by thousands of organizations across the nation to develop pro-fathering knowledge, attitudes, and skills of dads of all races, religions, and demographics. The program is built on the basis that fathers can be nurturers, and for men, nurturing is a learned skill. Throughout the program, men examine their developmental history, learn the 5 characteristics of a 24\/7 Dad\u00ae, and other important skills such as working with mom and proper child discipline to help them be the best dads they can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/dev.amplitudemktg.com\/help4kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/middle-aged-dad-sitting-on-sofa-and-working-on-laptop-when-kids-playing-near-him-caucasian-father-using-computer-and-children-having-fun-on-coach-in-room-digital-technology-and-fatherhood-concept-stockpack-adobe-stock.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Middle-aged dad sitting on sofa and working on laptop when kids playing near him.
