The mood of young fathers greatly affects the language development of children. American scientists point out that a father is often in a depressed, uncomfortable mood that will cause his vocabulary to be seriously affected.
Researchers assessed the impact on children's vocabulary by monitoring the incidence of 50 common words that children use when they were 2 years old. On average, children use about 29 words out of 59 words.
The research group led by psychologist James Paulson followed 5,000 families, saying: When 9-month-old children, 14% of mothers often fall into a depressed mood and the proportion only accounts for 10% for young fathers. .
But if the father is upset, uncomfortable, the number of children will be reduced by 1.5 times. This can be explained by the fact that when the father is not happy, he or she will rarely read or tell stories to the child and his or her vocabulary will be poor. Maybe you consider this small, nothing important because compared to the number 29, the 1.5-fold reduction is nothing to worry about but think about it, the bigger the baby, the more the language is Rich, then this inferiority is a great disadvantage for me.
Meanwhile, another study by Eastern Virginia medical school scientists showed that the mother's mood hardly affected the development of children's words. Because mothers are bored, they still do not neglect their child care and their time is not diminished. In any mood, women always fulfill their responsibilities, especially for their children. But for men, if depressed, the time spent on babies will be reduced by about 9%.
Dr. Paulson, who represents the research team, said he hoped the study could help young fathers quickly find a way out of that bad mood.
'It doesn't matter if they're alone and they're bored. But if you know that the development of your children depends on you, surely a man can change his way of life. '
This is also useful information for young fathers or those who are about to enjoy the joy of being a father in life. Therefore, know how to get rid of boredom and take more care of your children when they are born.
