In this episode, host Lamar Andrews discusses the power of "FaceTime," which involves getting down to your child's level and engaging with them face-to-face to promote bonding and language development. Lamar shares his personal experience and the benefits he has observed by using FaceTime with his son from an early age.
FaceTime, in the context of parenting, refers to face-to-face interaction with your child to promote bonding and language development. Babies naturally focus on faces from an early age, and engaging with them in this way creates a strong foundation for language learning and imitative skills.
Lamar emphasizes the importance of taking time to communicate with your child at their level, using mirror play, gestures, and facial expressions to create a stimulating and enjoyable learning environment. Practicing "serve and return" interactions with your child further enhances their language development.
As a dad, being actively involved in your child's language learning journey is crucial for their cognitive and emotional development. So get down on your child's level, engage in FaceTime, and enjoy the journey of language development and bonding with your child.
Remember, anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. Keep supporting the "Daddy Prep" movement and subscribe to the podcast for more insightful episodes.
