Kids Are Less Likely to Suffer These if Their Parents Have Positive Attitude

As a parent, you should start presenting a more positive attitude around your children. A new study shows that it can help prevent some very expensive treatment. According to Fox News, a new research study has shown that parents who are more positive, have children that are less likely to suffer from cavities.

Looking at children ages 3 to 6 years old, the study focuses on the parenting styles of "authoritative" and "permissive." By their definition, "authoritative" parenting style provides "both discipline and guidance while still giving the child some freedom." The "permissive" style is defined as, "parents who do not control their child’s decision and tend to ignore misbehavior."

Not surprisingly, the study found that children of authoritative parents had less cavities compared to permissive ones, 80 percent compared to 97 percent. That's correct, almost 100% of children of permissive parents had cavities.

Extending from this, the study also showed that 93 percent of children of "authoritative" parents displayed positive behavior, compared to only 42 percent of children of "permissive" children.
