Important Role of Father in Child Happiness

POSTED BY Unknown on Friday, October 29, 2010

A study involving 1200 children showed that the key to a child's happiness lies in the quality time he spent with his father.
Children who have a fixed time to communicate with his father has a rating of 87 of 100 for the happiness scale. Meanwhile, children who rarely speak to her father stating that the scale of his happiness at the level 79 on average.
The results of this study was launched by a British institution for children called the Children's Society. They say that the results of this study is "very significant" because this research illustrates that the presence of someone in adulthood related to its relationship with both parents while he was in their teens.
The respondents were aged between 11 and 15 years and nearly half said, "almost never" talked with his father on important topics, while only 28 percent of children say rarely talk about important things with his mother.
The father may not have time to discuss important matters with their children. However, they often play style wrestler with children and it turns out this is important also for the child's development.
"There are studies that say wrestling game between father and son (gently) can encourage the exploration of children in the future. Many thought that this kind of games can increase aggression in boys. However, there are a lot of data to support that this would encourage empathy in children, "said William Pollack, a clinical professor at Harvard Medical School.
The study also shows that fathers often reinforce the child and encourage them to explore and meet other people. Dad was more frequently invite children to play than mothers.
Patrick Tolan, professor at the Curry School at the University of Virginia, said, "The mother helps the child feel more listened to, anticipated, and desirable. Meanwhile, the father taught them how to interact with others and how to control themselves when their wishes are not met ( in other words, teaching children not spoiled). "
Another study conducted at the Universite de Montreal School of Psychoeducation of observation and interaction toddler's parents when they are in risky situations. Examples of experiments, a stranger approached a child and when the child saw the toy is placed on top of the stairs. In the study, showed that mothers try to be in a very close distance, while his father watched from a distance. According to the researchers, given distance makes the child father dared to explore without having to fear no one guarding him.
"We found that more fathers to encourage children to explore than the mother. The style is not so protective of this is to encourage children to dare to explore," said study leader, Daniel Paquette. The independent-minded child must have agreed that they would prefer to explore without the supervision superketat from his mother every time and every time, and this will lead her toward self-satisfaction (happiness). The point is to balance without the need overprotective of children. So, do not forget to encourage the husband to set aside (not leaving) the time for children on a regular basis, yes.
