Work, Mom: Scientists have proven that working mothers grow more responsible and successful children
Moms who need to work systematically feel guilty for removing too little attention to their children.
Such parents, indeed, sometimes do not have the time and energy to work with the child, play and read fairy tales to him.
American sociologists at Harvard University of Sociological Research have found that Nothing wrong with that - According to statistics, such mothers have very independent and responsible children.
Sociologists recommend moms with a sense of guilt look a little further than tomorrow.
They studied biographies almost 100 thousand children from 29 countrieswho grew up in families where mom constantly worked with short breaks in childbirth and baby care.
When their children turned 20 years old (this was the control group), it became possible to draw the first conclusions. Detailed findings are published in the journal Employment and Society.
It turned out that the sons of mothers who worked grew more economic - they can and do housework 2.5 times more workthan the children of housewives who tried to surround their children with attention, participation, care and care.
The sons of working mothers, acquiring their own families, devote about 8 hours a week to their own children and household duties, while sons of housewives do not exceed 3 hours.
The daughters of working moms, according to the results of the study, turned out to be less economic.
But they, like their mothers, give a lot of effort to study, work and career. Up to 75% of them occupy management positions, and the income level of such girls 35% higherthan daughters moms-housewives.
Experts believe that a working mother is an excellent "visual aid" for survival.
Watching mom, children from an early age learn to cope with difficulties, achieve results and set goals that are not limited to the kitchen.
In addition, according to researchers Kathleen McGinn, a professor at Harvard Business School, level of intelligence and breadth children working moms in general, 39% higher than similar characteristics in children, which mothers have devoted all their free time.
