DOAC Dr Anna Machin WHAT KIDS REALLY WANT FROM DAD ❤️

Dads and children have co-evolved to prefer to play when you're a parent, you will get a peak in oxytocin from certain behaviours with your child. If you're a dad, that peak in oxytocin comes from playing with your kid. And when we look at kids, when they the peak in oxytocin release they get when they're playing with their dads, isn't when a cuddle, you know, I don't get a big release. It's when I play with daddy. Different to women. Yes. So women get their oxytocin release from nurturing, their particular from hugging them. And kids, their peak, interact cuddles with mum from mum's cuddles, not from playing with mum. Naturally, kids kind of gravitate towards dads to have fun. The kind of choose to do something physical, stimulatory. And that's, and that's why dads the moniker parent, the fun parent, you do all fun stuff. But actually play is to a child's fundamental to a child's development.
