Fathers play an important role in a child’s development. Some are similar to a mother’s such that research shows that when a father is sensitive to their child’s needs, it helps a child build their emotional skills and even helps them with academics later on. The roles are different such that when a father plays in a more risky way with their child. it helps build their confidence and autonomy because they learn how to push their boundaries. In this episode, I chatted with Patrick Greenwood, Founder & Inventor at Kontu www.kontukids.com, to learn a little more about how he invented a toy to help teach his daughter math skills in preschool.
