Parenting Methods Shown to Impact Outcomes for Kids

"A new study from Japan shows that children who receive positive attention and care from their parents have high incomes, high happiness levels, academic success, and a strong sense of morality.

Researchers, led by Dr. Kazuo Nishimura, a project professor at the Kobe University Center for Social Systems Innovation, and Dr. Tadashi Yagi, a professor at the Doshisha University Faculty of Economics, conducted an online survey in January 2016 to discover the effects of parentingmethods in Japan.

They received answers from 5,000 women and men to questions and statements about their relationships with their parents during childhood, including statements such as “My parents trusted me” and “I felt like my family had no interest in me."
