Teach My Baby & Dads Boost Baby Brain Development

With Father's Day around the corner, research shows dads can facilitate early learning.

TORONTO, ON, June 15, 2011

Typically, Moms are expected to play the largest role in a baby's first year of life, but research shows that having both Mom and Dad involved can help encourage early learning. The Teach My Baby learning kit makes it easy for all parents to find time in their busy days to incorporate educational play with their babies.

According to newsforparents.org, Involving Fathers In Parenting, "There are certain aspects of male styles that support a child's intellectual development. Dads often have a special interest in analytical skills such as math and problem solving. Dad's care can combine with Mom's to effect how children think of their own abilities and effect how well they do in school." Research has also shown that Dad is destined to become a baby's primary playmate. In fact, two-thirds of 6-month-old babies choose Dad when it comes to playtime, which means playtime with Dad is also a prime learning time for baby.

The award-winning Teach My Baby kit helps Dads transform playtime by providing all the tools they need to incorporate learning into play through puzzles, blocks, finger puppets and mirrors designed to teach early learning of first words and numbers, sounds, touch and self recognition. The kit is divided into four sections devoted to each of these key skills. Each skill comes with a set of toys that dads can easily use during play to stimulate their baby's senses and encourage learning. Each section contains photographic images on coordinated teaching tools to encourage natural repetition and a real life perspective.
