Kids who talk regularly with their fathers are happier than kids who don’t, according to a new research.
Children who converse with their fathers “most days” considered them-selves 87 out of 100 on a happiness degree, while those who rarely talk to their dads got a score of 79. The study results showed the findings “highly important”, because the research has proved that a person’s happiness later in life has something to do with their parents Relationship during the teen years.
Dads may not have as many meaningful conversations (谈话) with their kids as moms, but they tend to roughhouse with them more than moms do, and the research shows that’s important for kids’ development, too. There are new studies showing that this kind of play inspires kids to explore in kids’ future life. Studies also show that dads often give power to their children and encourage them to explore and meet new people. And dads tend to be more in charge of playtime than moms, too.
“Mothers help children feel connected> expected and wanted,” said Patrick Tolan, “Fathers teach them how to interact with others and how to control themselves when they feel their needs aren’t being met.”
One study from School of Psychology, Université de Mentréal observed parents interacting with their toddlers (刚学会走路的孩子) while children were put into “risky” situations. In one experiment, a stranger came up toeing the kids and in another, the kids saw toys placed at the top of stairs. The dads followed their kids at a distance, which encouraged kids to explore.
“We found that fathers are more Likely than mothers to activate exploratory behavior by being less protective Daniel Paquette said. And as any in-dependent-minded child knows, the chance to explore without an overprotective mom on board leads to even more happiness.
