With Empathy For Friends – Teens With Secure Family Relationships ‘Pay It Forward’

Jessica Stern, University of Virginia The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea Teens with more secure family relationships get a head start on developing empathy, according to my colleagues’ and my new study tracking adolescents into adulthood. In contrast to popular myths about self-obsessed teens, existing research shows that adolescence is a key stage of development for the growth of empathy: the ability to stand in someone else’s shoes, to understand and resonate with their emotions and to care about their well-being. Empathy is a skill that develops over time, and it has major consequences for teens’ social interactions, friendships and adult relationships. So how do teens learn this critical skill? Our team’s new findings, published o...

Dating A Cancer Man

What sets a man born under the sign of Cancer apart from men born under other astrological signs? What makes him tick and what are his desires? If you're dating a male Cancer, you may find yourself confused by some of his behavior. They are a little harder to figure out than most, but if you are diligent and careful, you can crack them and experience what's inside. Cancer guys are very protective of their emotions, probably because they are extremely tender on the inside. In order to get beneath that tough exterior, you'll need to gain their trust and support them until they are ready to open up to you. It's not an easy task, but the Cancer man will be equally as supportive once you have broken through and he trusts you. Though it can be hard to get in at first, an open emotional relati...

How To Prepare Your Home For Life After Baby With Easy Setup Tips

For new parents, especially those bringing home a first baby, the early postpartum weeks can feel like a constant loop of healing, exhaustion, and overwhelm.

Designer Babies

When human desires and wants are quantified as unalienable rights, then, ethics and morals become easily compromised, and a disaster often awaits. Designer babies will soon be the norm in reproductive healthcare, a reflection of desire passed off as an individual right. Soon, a couple will be able to walk in a reproductive healthcare facility and select all the features that they would prefer their child to have or not have. If permitted from clinical trials to practical applications, couples will have the freedom and right, depending on affordability, to decide the features that their child will have, in the process creating a child that they want. Therefore, based on their preference, a couple can decide to have a child with green eyes, less chances of becoming obese, high probabi...

Helping Make Society More Respectful And Equitable – Nurturing Dads Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids

When my oldest son, now nearly 13, was born in July of 2008, I thought I could easily balance my career and my desire to be far more engaged at home than my father and his generation were. I was wrong. Almost immediately, I noticed how social policies, schools and health care systems all make it difficult for dads to be highly involved and engaged at home. Contradictory expectations about work and family life abound. As a fatherhood researcher with four kids of my own, I am convinced that fathers are transformative figures for children, families and communities. But a man’s mere presence, paycheck and willingness to punish misbehaving children is not nearly enough. Many of the benefits of fathering for children come from dads being nurturing, loving and engaged in all aspects of p...

How To Win A Man’s Heart Through Text Messages

For LGBTQ Parents That Want To Help Schools Fight Stigma And Ignorance – Here Are 7 Tips To Help

Many parents want to ensure that their kids are in classrooms where they and their families are respected and embraced. However, as a psychologist and researcher who has studied LGBTQ parents’ relationships with schools for over a decade, I have found that LGBTQ parents often have specific concerns when it comes to inclusion and acceptance. “[We have] always been very upfront that we are a family with two moms,” reported one parent in my research. “If the [school] was going to have an issue, we wanted to get the vibe early so we could find an alternative so our child didn’t have to suffer due to their closed-mindedness.” LGBTQ parents who live in less gay-friendly communities are more likely to describe feelings of mistreatment by their children’s schools. Such experiences may prompt par...

Be The Dad You Wish You Had

In my office are several items that reflect the great joy I find in my family; among them are two special items. One is a little figurine presented to me years ago on Father's Day by one of my children. It bears this message: "World's Greatest Dad." The second item, a plaque given by another of my children on another Father's Day, reads: "A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you are." This gift brought a timely measure of encouragement, coming the year my oldest son surpassed me in height. (That's when I decided, subconsciously of course, to beat him in girth. And I did.) These particular paternal possessions are very important to me for a reason I want to share with you here. I know, all too well, that I am not the "world's greatest dad." Still, the hyperbole expresse...
