Why is the baby only with mom and not with dad? That's the truth!
The reason why babies only like to cling to their mothers.
There are a few reasons why babies like to cling to their moms. Babies have a stronger sense of trust in their mothers than others, so they often exhibit clingy behaviors. But why does a baby form such a special bond with his mother? We can explain this phenomenon in the following ways.
1.Security required.
Babies need security from the moment they are born, and mothers, as the closest people to them, give them the most love and care. While the baby is still in the mother's body, the mother communicates and interacts with the baby frequently, and this intimate relationship makes the baby feel safe and familiar. After birth, the mother will accompany the baby as he grows up, giving him meticulous care and affection. Babies will develop a sense of trust in their mothers as they grow. When the mother is not around, the baby feels uncomfortable and fearful, so it will show the behavior of attachment to the mother.
Babies also believe that they can only feel safe and relaxed if their mother is around. This is because, in the eyes of babies, mom is not only the person who gives them food and care, but also the most intimate and reliable presence in their lives. Babies need their mother's company to build a sense of security, and they will only feel at ease and relaxed when they feel their mother's presence.
2.Habits and addictions.
The first few years of a baby's life are basically taken care of by the mother. Whether eating, sleeping or playing, mom is her baby's closest companion. In this process, the baby will gradually develop the habit of relying on the mother, thinking that he can only feel good when he is accompanied by the mother. Especially when babies encounter unfamiliar environments or people, they will become more dependent on their mothers and want support and comfort. As a result, babies will exhibit sticky behavior, which is actually a way of adapting and coping with the external environment.
3.The emotional bond between mother and child.
In the course of human evolution, there was a strong emotional bond between babies and mothers. The emotional bond between mother and baby allows the baby to establish a special emotional bond with the mother, resulting in attachment behavior. This emotional bond is naturally formed, innate, and is primarily influenced by hormones and neurotransmitters. The love and care of the mother makes the baby feel a unique emotional connection and creates a special emotional bond with the mother, thus showing attachment behavior towards the mother.
Although babies tend to cling to their mom and don't like dad, that doesn't mean dad isn't important in your baby's development. The father is also the pillar of the family and plays an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of the baby. Below, I'll take a closer look at the importance of fathers in your baby's growth and share some ways to help fathers build a good relationship with their babies.
The importance of fatherhood and ways to build a good relationship with your baby.
Fathers play a very important role in their children's development. They are not only the biological fathers of their children, but also role models and guides for their children. Father's love is different from mother's love, and they have different manifestations and functions. Fatherhood focuses on cultivating children's self-confidence and independent thinking ability, which can help children break through the mother's umbrella and establish their own independent personality.
Here are some ways to help parents build a good relationship with their baby:
1) Participate in the parenting process: Fathers can actively participate in the baby's daily life, such as playing with the baby, feeding, bathing, etc. This not only increases the intimate interaction between the baby and the father, but also deepens the father's understanding and care for the baby, and builds the baby's trust and dependence on the father.
2.Create time for parenting: Parents can set aside time to spend with their baby, such as reading stories and playing games with them every night. This kind of exclusive parent-child time can strengthen the emotional connection between parents and baby, so that the baby can feel cared for by his parents.
3) Adventure with your baby: Dad can go out on adventures with his baby, visit new places, and cultivate his baby's curiosity and spirit of exploration. Dad can act as a tour guide, introducing the baby to different things and environments, stimulating the baby's curiosity and interest.
4.Set an example: Fathers should set an example for their children in their behavior and attitudes. Fathers can be actively involved in family affairs, showing a sense of responsibility and a positive attitude. Fathers can motivate their babies to set the right values and goals through their own efforts and successes.
5) Respect your baby's feelings: Fathers should respect their baby's feelings and thoughts, and communicate and communicate effectively with him. By listening to and caring for the baby's inner world, the father and the baby build an emotional bond and a trusting relationship.
6) Encourage your baby's independence: Parents can encourage their babies to think independently and solve problems, developing their autonomy and self-confidence. Parents can give their babies some autonomy in a safe environment to make decisions and actions independently.
7) Participate in your baby's education: Parents can participate in their baby's learning and education to help them develop good study habits and values. They can discuss learning content and share knowledge and experience together to improve your baby's motivation and interest in learning.
By being actively involved in the baby's life and growth, fathers can build a good relationship with their babies and become a strong backing and role model for them as they grow.
