Research suggests shared residence isn't always better for children, with rivalries and over-controlling parents causing harm. Flexible approaches respecting young people's changing needs are recommended instead.
New research reveals that children from post-divorce families are not necessarily better off with equal parenting time. Step-families are growing rapidly, with nearly 20% of dads aged 34 being step-fathers. Caribbean families in Britain increasingly celebrate Kwaanza as a holiday tradition.
This study explores the role of low-income fathers in their children's development, finding that supportive father-child interactions predict better language and cognitive outcomes. Fathers' involvement also affects mothers' parenting styles, promoting a positive cycle of care.
A survey of over 700 adults found that 50% of men and only 32% of women supported routine paternity testing. The difference in response remained consistent despite marital and income status. Researchers speculate that women may seek a father's genetic heritage or parental investment, but this practice is rare due to the potential risks.
A new study finds that a father's mental health has a significant impact on a child's behavioral and emotional problems, especially if the mother is struggling with depression. The research suggests that emotionally healthy fathers can substantially reduce the negative influence of a mother's poor mental health.
A study found that men and women have distinct answers when asked about their favorite outdoor activities, with women often citing family-oriented pursuits. This suggests that traditional questionnaire structures may not account for differences in how men and women interpret questions about outdoor recreation preferences and behavior.
A study found that less than half of urban fathers regularly attend doctor's appointments with their young children. The research highlights the need for family-friendly employment policies to encourage father involvement in childcare.
A Mayo Clinic study found that 69% of mothers and 58% of fathers reported having distressing thoughts about their infant's safety. New fathers struggle with obsessional thoughts, which can be a sign of an underlying issue that requires professional care.
A study of 34 surrogate mothers found that none reported misgivings about handing over the baby, with most enjoying good relations with commissioning couples. However, some experienced mild psychological difficulties after handover, which subsided with time.
Unmarried mothers with boys are more likely to find a husband and tie the knot, a study by University of Washington economists found. The researchers discovered that single mothers of boys are 11% more likely to get married than those with girls.
A recent study by Ohio State University researchers found that lower levels of involvement between non-custodial fathers and their children are related to ongoing conflict with the children's mothers. The study suggests that conflict with a child's mother directly affects the father's involvement and satisfaction in his role as a father.
A study of 178 black and Hispanic teens found that those with permissive parents, attending church, or from single-parent homes were more likely to engage in sexual intercourse. The researchers suggest empowering parents to monitor their adolescents' daily activities can help reduce risky sexual behavior among males.
A study by Mark King and Andrew Cherlin reveals that 22% of low-income children have involved surrogate fathers who take on daily childcare responsibilities. The most significant predictor of this phenomenon is the mother's union status and age, with single mothers and young mothers more likely to have relative surrogate fathers.
Researchers at UC Riverside are studying the effects of fathers on their children's well-being, particularly during adolescence. The three-year study will examine cultural differences and explore how biological bonds influence the relationship between fathers and their teenage sons and daughters.
Researchers will study 400 families from public schools in Phoenix and Southern California to examine the role of fathers in protecting their children from adolescence's perils. The study aims to identify culturally-universal concepts of fatherhood and its impact on child development.
Researchers have created a prototype, Activity Compass, that uses sensors and GPS to monitor daily routines and provide prompts. The device aims to help patients maintain independence and reduce emotional burnout on caregivers.
A recent study has found that parental smoking around the time of conception is associated with a reduction in male births. The research suggests that exposure to cigarette smoke may affect sperm cells carrying the Y-chromosome, leading to lower male to female sex ratios. Smoking was found to impact sex ratios even when only the mother...
Researchers found that talking daily with children about their school activities can significantly improve reading and math scores. The study also highlights the importance of fathers' roles in education, suggesting that more involvement can help overcome barriers such as limited resources and cultural differences.
A recent study by Dr Eirini Flouri and Ann Buchanan found that involved fathers are associated with improved academic motivation, reduced psychological distress, and better life outcomes for children. The research, based on 17,000 UK-born children, highlights the importance of father involvement in childhood and adolescence.
Research finds that fathers' alcohol abuse and depression are associated with emotional and behavioral problems in children, including anxiety and depression. The study also highlights the importance of considering maternal depression when evaluating the effects of paternal alcohol abuse.
A new study found that parents who value autonomy are less likely to respond harshly to sibling conflicts, leading to reduced fighting between teens. The amount of time spent together with teen children is also crucial in maintaining a warm sibling relationship.
A new study found that fathers were more involved in caregiving when they worked fewer hours and had greater marital intimacy. Fathers with high self-esteem and less traditional child-rearing beliefs were also more active in caregiving.
A new study at Ohio State University suggests that Vietnamese Amerasians' thoughts and feelings about their American biological fathers play a powerful role in how well they adjust to life in the United States. The study found that those who reported frequent thoughts of their biological father experienced higher levels of psychologica...
Researchers are investigating what motivates young fathers to bond with their children, examining social supports, personality traits, and socio-demographic factors. The study aims to identify attributes that reinforce or diminish father-child bonding in teenaged mothers.
Researchers like John Gottman believe that fathers play a crucial role in helping children develop emotional control. By fostering emotional intelligence, dads can improve their children's behavior, academic performance, and overall well-being. In contrast, harsh parenting styles can lead to negative outcomes.
A new study found that non-custodial fathers with biological children in a new relationship tend to crowd out their original children's lives, but not if they have stepchildren. The research suggests there is no easy way to define the complex relationships between absent fathers and their children after divorce.
Among the Bari of Venezuela, promiscuous mothers who have secondary fathers benefit their children's survival rates. The study found that children with secondary fathers had an 80% survival rate compared to 64% for those without. Small food gifts during times of scarcity are believed to be the primary reason for this increase.
The study, led by psychologist Barbara Kerr, Ph.D., found that young adults raised in happy families were more likely to grow up in larger-than-average families and have parents who spent more time at home. These families often had occupations considered creative and encouraged children to participate in artistic activities.
A Cornell University study found that New York adoptive parents are overwhelmingly in favor of laws allowing adult adoptees access to information in their birth certificates. The study surveyed 1,274 adoptive parents and found that adoptive mothers were more likely to support opening adoption records than fathers. Key findings include ...
A new study by Cornell University and the University of Arizona found that when parents argue with their spouses, they are more likely to have tense interactions with their children. Fathers are particularly prone to this 'tension spillover', especially in families where mothers work full-time.
