New resource helps Dads talk to babies

The National Literacy Trust is urging new dads to incorporate talking, listening and communicating in the first three years of their baby's life into their everyday routine.

Research by the NLT has revealed that parents have a lack of awareness of how quickly a baby’s brain is formed, with a fifth believing it is only beneficial to talk to their baby once they are more than three months old.

To make parents, in particular dads, more aware of the importance of communicating with their new baby, the Trust has launched a new section of their Talk to Your Baby website to help new fathers play a crucial part in their child’s future development.

The newly launched section, which is endorsed by the Fatherhood Institute, includes podcasts and hints and tips to help stimulate communication between dads and their children.
