Couples are happier when sharing their children
To raise and raise a child it takes dedication, attention and a lot of patience, but when these tasks are performed by only one parent the responsibility becomes even greater. However, researchers have found that the division of child care can result in a happier relationship and a more active sex life.
The study conducted by Daniel Carlson, professor of sociology at the Georgia State University in the United States , analyzed 487 heterosexual couples with children, with the aim of understanding the relationship between child care and couples' personal and sexual satisfaction levels.
The participants were divided into three groups: in the first group, the women were responsible care of their children; in the second, men ended up with most responsibilities, and in the last group all tasks were divided between the two. In the analysis, the researchers considered the type of care for children in physical and emotional attention, interaction and supervision.
The results showed that in the relationships where the tasks and care with the children are divided or even in which the man assumes most responsibilities, couples are happier and sex life is more active. In the cases where the woman is responsible for more than 60% of the responsibilities, the couple becomes more dissatisfied.
"One of the most interesting findings of the research is that the only arrangement that appears problematically is the one in which the woman is "said Daniel, who presented the paper at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA) in 2015.
According to the study , both couples who share the chores, and those in which parents who take on more responsibilities than mothers have stated that they are happy in marriage and have frequent sex.
"Although men who look after their children are more satisfied and do more sex, they made lower evaluations of their sexual relations, if compared with the other men, while their partners reported the highest sexual quality among all the women studied. The study did not include same-sex couples in the analysis, who may have different behaviors and perceptions of child care. In this way, the team will continue to carry out new research, to deepen and understand this discovery.
Physical punishment in children may increase risk of mental disorders
In December 2011, a bill was passed that prohibits parents from hitting their children. Even so, there are families who hold the question if this is not the best way to teach their children. A study published in the journal Pediatrics however, showed that children who are caught may be at greater risk of developing mental problems in adult life than those who do not suffer physical punishment.
The survey results showed that children who have names that are suitable for both girls and boys are more likely to behave than boys, be wrong In addition, by accompanying university students, the researchers found that girls with more female names opted for advanced courses in the humanities, while women with a unisex name were more likely to choose exams.
