Children increase their IQ by being with their fathers often.

Research results from Newcastle University (UK) show that children who are often with their fathers have superior IQs, are more active and more successful than their peers.

Research results on 11,000 men and women, born in the same year, show that frequent interaction between father and child will stimulate the development of skills and cognition of children in the early stages of life. Fathers also strongly influence the psychology and career of their children until middle age (around 40 years old).

According to this study, scientists believe that children are smarter and develop more fully when they experience the following things with their fathers.

Father is close and often shows affection to his child

While a mother’s affectionate gestures are somewhat familiar and natural to children, fathers are often judged as less affectionate, strict and not really paying attention to their children’s feelings. Therefore, a father’s close expression, especially direct words like “I love you” or taking time to talk to the child will make the child feel important and appreciated in the family.

This helps children become confident, willing to share and communicate. Thanks to that, children can easily connect with other family members. When they grow up, they will have a higher chance of success because they are able to interact and adapt well to people and the environment around them.

Frequent interaction with father makes children smarter

Moreover, frequent communication and close conversations between father and child create a bond that makes children less afraid and embarrassed when they need support from their father. Interacting with their father also helps children understand how to solve problems and the ability to cope with difficulties. From there, children can build and perfect their personality and qualities to integrate and develop well in a collective environment or have the ability to solve and rely on the help of others when facing difficulties.

Father participates in fun activities with his child

To ensure cleanliness and safety, mothers tend to limit their children from participating in vigorous physical activities or rolling around in the natural environment. In fact, children increase their natural resistance if they regularly play with sand, grass, under the sun, and bathe in the rain...

Fathers are often more comfortable with children playing in dirt and sand.

On the contrary, fathers tend to support and facilitate their children's outdoor experiences more than mothers. It is even more ideal if fathers initiate and participate with their children.

These activities not only help children improve their ability to observe and coordinate movements, but also help them get closer to the natural environment so that they can love and appreciate the world around them. Moreover, while playing, fathers and children will also have little “secrets” that they do not share, even with their mothers. This is also a way to teach children to keep promises and respect commitments.

Dad is more comfortable with his child's eating problems

While women often set specific standards for their children’s weight and height, fathers do not pay much attention to this issue. A father’s natural instinct is to let his children develop naturally by empowering them and allowing them to make their own decisions, including when it comes to eating.

Children who eat proactively will absorb nutrients better.

Dads are also more willing to try new foods and foods than moms. For example, when the family goes on a picnic, dads will freely use packaged baby food because it is convenient, hygienic, and still ensures adequate nutrition.

Children can have a quick, delicious meal without much effort from the whole family to prepare. A comfortable mindset helps children enjoy eating, thereby absorbing maximum nutrients, creating a more delicious and happy feeling even when they cannot eat elaborately prepared dishes at home. Saving time on cooking also helps parents have more quality time with their children, strengthening family ties.
