Early Parent-Child Bonding Enhances Mental Health and Prosocial Behavior, Study Reveals

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost

A study involving over 10,000 children has highlighted the significance of nurturing warm and close relationships between parents and children in their early years. The research found that such relationships not only promote prosocial behavior in children but also protect against mental health difficulties as they grow. The study suggests that high-quality parent-child interactions, characterized by increased closeness and reduced conflict, are significant protective factors against mental health symptoms while fostering increased prosociality. On the other hand, physical and psychological maltreatment in parent-child relationships had detrimental effects, leading to greater mental health difficulties and reduced prosociality in children.

The Impact of Relationships on Adolescent Health Outcomes.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News

Adolescents who report strong relationships with their parents have better long-term health outcomes, according to a study by researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The study found that investments in improving parent-adolescent relationships could help improve general health, mental health, and sexual health while also reducing substance use in young adulthood. The study used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and found that characteristics such as reported parental warmth, communication, time together, and academic expectations were linked to health outcomes measured 14 years later.
