Kids Take After Their Mum's Intelligence

[Mpamaegbu]

As an undergraduate, "Child Psychology" used to interest me (for whatsoever reasons. But now I know why as a father). Two of the few things I picked up from that enviable field of study are:

Kids take after their mothers' intelligent quota. No matter how brilliant you're as a man, your kids will pick that from their mother. Not yours. This is sad for me but it is scientifically proven. You can Google it up if in doubt. So, Mr. Bachelor look beyond the physiognomy of that spinster you want to marry and her current financial standing into her brain.

The second one is - Kids learn faster with their fathers than with their mothers. The problem here is that most fathers hardly spend that lecture time with their kids. Before you argue this with me, when was the last time you did the kids' assignments with them or read a story book with them as a father?

As a father, this is so true. I have noticed this in my kids. How many of you fathers have also noticed this?

Very interesting, how about the environment factor though? Do you think it will or has affected our child's intelligence when growing up? Support families are there, aunt, uncles, grandpa, grandma and cousins, they could someone influence a child when growing up.

But I will keep this in mind and try to spend some time studying with my kids.

Also agreed on this because sometimes the community or the surroundings helps the building of children's behavior and sometimes also attitude. So i guess this is also considerable to add in studies

But i think some points are exactly correct just like what OP said father are.mostly the best teacher of our children, and they trust us more than the mother specially in physical activities

These factors you listed only impart the behavioural pattern of kids, not their level of intelligence. For instance, they may want to copy what neighbours, aunties or uncles do but it doesn't mean they can have the same level of intelligence as these people they try to imitate. The research I wrote about is purely on intelligence, not behaviour.

I am soon to be daddy. I'd like to try this since I am mostly in our home, anyway.

More than a father mum only helpful for hair child to take the chances of teaching in all the way so they had there extra ability to take care their children so the education is also in this case and they had the most chances of teaching and train them.

There is no one will replace your mum in this world so intelligence will definitely been shared by her only for you so the lifestyle of yourself only begin with the helpful thoughts from the side of your family especially your mum.

What you say is very real, but remember, they are children, children learn very fast, I think if they take part of their mother's brain, but they also carry implicit genetic information from their father, that is, in each neuron of your child, There is also information about you that you passed through DNA.

Scientifically it is proven, but you should not trust it, many times the quality of your child's learning also depends on the degree of interest that he or she places, the mother is very fundamental, and it is also in your hands that your child is more intelligent with the knowledge that you impose that are appropriate, and that allow it to continue developing. Remember that for him to be formed he needed you, and that you have the responsibility to be able to teach him how to think like you, what is really important, intelligence will always develop, wherever it comes from.

You should try it out. It works. More fathers should devout time to their kids and stop being masculinized. BTW, welcome to the club in advance.

Sorry, this isn't about a superiority contest. I am talking a research. And this observation I have made on it to be true as a father.

You don't trust scientific research? You sound that way here.

Yes, I also read about it here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/children-intelligence-iq-mother-inherit-inheritance-genetics-genes-a7345596.html

But they still said that about 40%-60% is related to the genes and if fathers keep taking efforts of teaching their kids, the kid's intelligence can be influenced.

I'm proud to say I read a story most nights

I think this largely varies per country, here the "traditional" mother role is shared more by both parents now.

Oh, thanks for the article. I never knew of that link. I had to read the voluminous textbook on Child Psychology for that little insight a few years ago.

Are you a father too?

No, I'm not married

I have read that even behavior traits are inherited from parents but it's not certain whether the mother or father has influence on the child. My father never took any interest in my studies and he was not good in studies while my mom was good and I am too so I am a proof that it's true

Nothing against that research, but in a developing country where I lived in, environment plays a big part of honing one's intelligent. I mean if the kid has intelligent but if the support cast or the people he/she interact growing up doesn't care about learning, then the child will grow not wanting to pursue it, in my opinion.

[RebeccaFrei]

I'm not sure about this statement for 100%, because I think it also depends on how this child was raised? and what if mother and father have equal intelligence?

[Accounting87]

No, it isn't true! I take after my father!

[Mpamaegbu]

No, it isn't true! I take after my father!

You took after his physical built and attributes or what? Your comment isn't that clear but remember that what I talked about here is, "intelligence". It's not even about character. It's about the grey matter in the skull - brain.

[Daniel91]

No, it isn't true! I take after my father!

I think that you surely got something from mother to
Also, many other factors are in the game like genes, environment, society etc.

[nobertocotter]

I'm pretty sure that's reliable information. I find it more and more agreeing on my mom instead of my dad.

[Tccrypto]

I really don't want to believe this
