Interesting documentary!
Strong fathers strong children, we have always heard this pharse. But is it really true that fathers can influence the personalities of their children so much?? Well, this is what 'Biology of Dads' a BBC documentary proves with tested scientific evidence from UK's top experts in fatherhood. It shows how Dads bond and influence with their infants all the way up to teenage age and beyond.
I was shocked at some of the scientific finding in realation to children and their fathers. The baby responding to the voice of the father was amazing SubhanaAllah!! I so agree the dads tend to prepare the children for the real world unintentionally. And they sure do play rough and tuff, which truly helps children be more independent and confident.
Love the dad-to-be circle set by dads with infants.
This concept of "Sympathetic pregnancy" never sounded or seemed agreeable to me! Personally I find it quite 'un-manly' of the dad-to-be to act like he 's pregnant when he's really not! I also find it sort of against our deen, because the dad-to-be is so called "naturally" acting like a woman. The man should most definately try to sympathies/care for the mother-to-be and show care and love to the baby. If there was such a thing (as sympathetic pregnancy) it would have been proven or at least mentioned in the Quran and sunnah. Wallahu Allam (Allah knows best).
Overall, it was a good documentary and a must watch for all parents and parents-to-be.
