Don’t ruin your would-be kids’ future by living left-liberal fed arrogant youth life. गर्भ संस्कार is your cultural roots.

The other day, I was watching a sitcom ( I do it once in a while for study and research purpose) where two adults were engaged in sex, talking about accident and getting married to hide the accident. Following such idiotic TV, many youth make jokes on it and consider themselves as accidental products. That is how babies are born nowadays.

Recently, there was a mad man news where a man sued his parents for giving birth to him.

Thinking positively during pregnancy? You could be helping your child’s ability in maths and science

Your attitude during pregnancy could have an effect on your child’s ability in maths and science, according to a new study published by Frontiers in Psychology today.

Researchers examined the ‘locus of control’ by using responses from questionnaires completed by over 1600 pregnant women who took part in the Children of the 90sstudy.  They then looked at the mathematical and scientific reasoning and problem-solving skills of their offspring at the ages of 8, 11 and 13 assessed in school using specially designed tests. This study is among the first to link the prenatal locus of control of parents to the maths and science abilities of their offspring years later.

Findings reveal that mothers with an internal locus of control before their child was born (those who believe in the connection between their actions and what happens to them) were more likely to have a child who is good at maths and science.  Compared to their externally controlled peers, internally focussed mothers also were more likely to provide their children with diets that assist brain development, to more frequently read stories to them and to show an interest in their child’s homework and academic progress.

“It is widely known that the locus of control of a child is strongly associated with their academic achievements but until now we didn’t know if mothers’ locus of control orientation during pregnancy had a role to play in early childhood.  Thanks to the longitudinal data from Children of the 90s study we can now make these associations.

“If our findings, that mothers’ attitudes and behaviours can have an effect on their child’s academic abilities, can be replicated it would suggest that more efforts should be made to increase the opportunities for mothers to feel that their behaviours will have a positive outcome for themselves and their children.  It would help future generations raise healthy, confident and independent children.

“The next steps for this area of psychology will be for researchers to look at this at an international level to see if the findings are replicated. Other factors that will be important will be to undertake an intervention study to assess whether encouraging women to become more internal will improve the academic development of their children.”
