Is Parenting A 24/7 Job?
Stairs are dangerous. The journal Pediatrics reported approximately 932,000 children under age 5 went to emergency rooms between 1999 and 2008 because of stair accidents. That's 1 child every 6 minutes. About 25% of stair-related injuries to children age 1 and younger occurred when a parent or caretaker was carrying the child. These injuries were more than 3 times likelier to result in hospitalization. More than 33% of the injured children had soft-tissue injuries and 75% had head and neck injuries. Homes with small children need gated stairs, reachable handrails and parents with eyes in the back of their heads.
Bottled water may increase tooth decay in children. Because it usually doesn't contain fluoride, bottled water doesn't help protect children's teeth and could be a contributing factor to the increase in children's cavities. According to a study published in the journal Pediatric Dentistry, 70% of parents gave their children bottled water alone or with tap water. The study also showed 65% of parents using bottled water didn't know if it contained fluoride. In 2012 it's important for parents to know only about 20 of the approximately 125 brands of bottled water contain fluoride. After all, parents are the "water bearers".
Children can be helped to fail less. In a study published by the American Psychological Association, 111 school children ages 11 and 12 were given an anagram too difficult to solve. Afterward half the children were told failure is part of learning. The children who received the pep talk scored better on further tests than the other children. Fear of failing interferes with working memory resources - a main component of intellectual ability. Fear of failing interferes with performance. It can cause children to avoid difficulty and thus the opportunities to learn new skills. To learn children need to feel "fail-safe".
However, parents may be failing their children by paying all their college expenses. Researchers at Brigham Young University'out authors School of Family Life analyzed 400 college students nationwide. They found children of pay-for-everything parents had less sense of what they wanted to do in the future. They were also likelier to party and to struggle with their studies. Without the responsibility of paying some college expenses, students got distracted. Although the students who were the most focused on school and the future were the ones paying their own way, parents can help their children by only helping to pay for college.
