Crawling Meet Salam and his daughter Betty

00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:08.720
I’m Salam and this is my daughter Betty.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.360
Im 41, she is almost ten months.

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.520
We’re both from Plymouth and I'm a property developer.

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:20.560
She's just started to get to crawl stage.

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:25.080
She's on the verge now where any day now she'll be off.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:28.880
How have you adapted to being a Dad?

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:33.080
She’s our first, it's been wonderful,

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:38.520
hard work at times and sleepless nights but it's filled our world with love

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.680
and she’s such a sweet little girl we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:46.160
It really changes you, I know it’s a cliché and everyone says that

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:50.920
and when we were expecting her everyone would tell us how much it changes you

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.200
and how enjoyable it was

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.720
and you don’t really understand it until you live it yourself.

00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:02.920
Why Clarks?

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.960
I remember going into Clarks as a young schoolboy and picking up my shoes.

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:11.880
The first pair of shoes my niece ever had were Clarks.

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:13.520
We took her to pick some out

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:16.520
and now Betty's first pair’s gonna be Clarks.

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.640
To be honest I don’t know a lot about babies foot development,

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.280
she’s only just reached a size 1 now

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.000
so these are her first pair of shoes

00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:29.320
but doing this campaign for Clarks

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:30.880
I’m sure we’re gonna learn lots about it

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:32.680
and we're excited.

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.560
Are you excited to wear shoes?

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.520
Are you? Yes?

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:37.880
I think that’s a yes.

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:42.080
How do you approach parenting?

00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:45.160
We’ve got a strong family support network,

00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:48.880
both her sets of grandparents are here and they help us out.

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:52.320
We’re a close family on both sides, which is great.

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.840
We take on board what anyone says

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.600
and we listen, we're grateful for opinions

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:00.400
especially from our family and people we care about,

00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.680
but ultimately we make our own decisions.

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.520
Any advice for parents?

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:09.360
It's such a cliché, it just changes your life

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.520
it opens you up emotionally,

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.480
you see everything differently,

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:16.840
the world's just full of love all of a sudden.

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.520
