JAVAREE TALKS

Last week, a friend in the Ready To Dad crew shared a viral TED Talk by a seven-year-old named Molly Wright, offering a profound message on the importance of connection, communication, and play in a child’s early development. Molly speaks directly to how simple, everyday ‘serve-and-return’ interactions, like playing peekaboo or engaging during playtime, help shape a child’s brain and emotional intelligence. For dads practicing conscious parenting, her insights emphasize your crucial role in fostering secure attachments and supporting long-term emotional and cognitive well-being.

Quick Reminders to Building Connection for Dads:

1. Prioritize quality interactions with your child, focusing on eye contact and responding to their cues.

2. Create a safe space for your child to express feelings and model empathy to build emotional intelligence.

3. Demonstrate calmness, teaching your child how to navigate emotions confidently.

By incorporating these conscious parenting strategies, you can reinforce Molly’s message that meaningful early engagement is the key to a secure and emotionally healthy future. This should reassure you and boost your confidence as a dad.
