Believe it or not, your child is learning to interact with you and other humans from birth.
The most important relationship for a child is the one they develop with their parents. Kids learn about the world surrounding them through a positive parent-child relationship. As they grow and change, they look to their mommy and daddy to determine whether or not they are secure, safe, and loved. It is also the core ground from which they will create their relationships in the future.
You can create a positive parent-child relationship by spending quality time together, being in the moment with your kid, and making an environment where they feel comfortable to delve into. There is no guaranteed approach or secret handbook to getting this relationship right, and you will likely find challenges along the way. However, your kid will surely blossom if you keep working on enhancing your relationship.
By reading the book Talk, Play, and Read with Me Daddy by Gramlich is an excellent place to start having that positive-parenting bonding, enjoying each other, and committing to giving your child your undivided attention.
About The Book
Nothing is more magical than interacting with a kid, especially when you know you are encouraging them to say their first actual words. Starting as early as birth, you can begin to talk, read, and play with your kid and become actively involved in the initial stages of communication. Talk, Play, And Read With Me Daddy will not only guide you but provide you and your kid with many stimulating games and activities that are developmentally designed and appropriate to help enhance your child’s language and speech skills. There are many interactive activities for infants (e.g., Tubby Time, Making Sounds, Playful Reading), toddlers (e.g., Picnic Time, Sorting Fun, My Fun Box), and preschoolers (e.g., Story Telling, Listen Up, Searching for Shapes). These fun-filled learning games can be played when you and your kid have a few extra minutes during daily playtime, routines, or story time. You can also use this book when traveling, so carry it wherever you go.
