Adults have always complained about how difficultdi it is to get kids to eat right, behave and to respect their elders. But there has been ample research over the last 50 years about the child-rearing practices which offer better chances of raising happy and healthy kids. The Stanford Marshmallow experiments were a set of studies which looked at delayed gratification. Children were given a marshmallow and told that if they could wait 15 minutes to eat it they would be given another marshmallow. Most of them couldn’t wait, but those who could were shown to do better in school and to have a variety of better life outcomes, even years later. Studies done in the 1980s by Betty Hart and Todd Risley looked at how differentdi social classes talked with their children and found that upper and middle class parents talked much more to their children and that this had an effect on their children’s vocabularies and their IQs. Finally, there is ample evidence that the things which parents do recreationally with their children, like playing sports, going to museums or concerts, and reading will continue to be enjoyed by their children into their adult years. So if you want to raise happy and healthy children, teach them how to delay gratification, talk with them as much as possible, and enjoy healthy and intellectually engaging activities with them. Be sure to include the Bible and its lessons in your activities. – Christopher Simon Your Guide To Area CHURCHES Thursday, August 27, 2015 – Minden Press-Herald 9
