Dads influence their child’s development in many ways and it is valuable for him to explore the different aspects of development – cognitive, emotional, and physical development. By paying close attention, a dad can give better guidance, keep a child healthier, and offer opportunities to his child that are in line with the child’s preferences, strengths, and abilities.
