Men and women may bond with their children differently... Dr Anna Machin argues that fathers tend to get a stronger oxytocin response through play, while mothers are more likely to experience that same bonding response through nurturing behaviours like hugging and comforting. It suggests that connection doesn’t always look the same for mums and dads, even when the bond is just as strong.
