 How
often do you speak with your dad? As you
get older, you will spend more time with your
friends than with your parents. But from now on, you should try to spend more time with
your dad. According to a new study, children who often
talk to their fathers are happier than those who do
not!
Many children often talk to their friends about their problems and
important issues. Good friends can
comfort you and encourage you. But since they are still young,
they sometimes don’t know what
to say to you or how to help you solve your problems. The
next time when you have worries or problems, why don’t you talk to your
dad?
 British
researchers recently found in their study
that speaking to your dad is the secret to happiness. The researchers
studied 1,200 children in Britain aged between 11 and 15. The
study showed that young people talk less to their fathers about important
things as they get older. The data showed 42 percent of 11-year-olds
talked to their dads more than once a week, while 16 percent of 15-year-olds
did so.
The researchers found that children who regularly talk seriously to their dads showed
high happiness levels. They gave themselves an 87 percent score on a happiness scale, compared with 79 percent
for those who said they rarely spoke to their fathers
about serious issues.
 The researchers
said that children’s happiness later in life depends on
their teenage relationship with their fathers
as well as with their mothers. “This research shows that young people’s
happiness is closely linked to how often
they speak to their fathers about important issues,” said the researchers.
Now you know how important it is to speak with your dad. From now
on, you should talk to your dad more often about important things
in your life. Then, you will be happier! |
