Dads who play with their kids might help in improving their children’s self-control

New European research has found a link between fathers who play with their kids from a young age and a child’s ability to control their behavior and emotions as they get older. | AFP

The researchers also found that in almost all of the studies they looked at, there was a consistent link between father-child play and a child’s ability to control their feelings as they grew up. Children who enjoyed playtime with their dad were less likely to show hyperactivity or emotional and behavioral problems, more likely to be able to control feelings of aggression, and less likely to lash out at other children during fall-outs.

“Physical play creates fun, exciting situations in which children have to apply self-regulation,” explains researcher Paul Ramchandani. “You might have to control your strength, learn when things have gone too far — or maybe your father steps on your toe by accident and you feel cross!” However, the authors stress that children who grow up only with their mother are not necessarily missing out on developing these skills.
