There is recognition that dad’s bond is so special and important for their infants’ development, including infants’ response to stress, learning behaviours and social skills. The ‘Time with Dad’ session aims to support new fathers / male carers to participate in hand-on activities that enhance bonding and connection with their infants, especially in the early days.
The session will offer new fathers time with their infants, with practical tips and hand-on care giving for your infants e.g. baby massage, visit to places of interest, potty-training, story-time, and opportunity to interact with other new fathers.
This session is FREE.
