Positive parenting may boost children's joy and mental health, study finds
Original: Study finds positive parenting teaches children how to experience joy—and could lead to better mental health
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame report that positive parenting—warm, responsive caregiving—teaches children how to experience joy, and that this skill could support better mental health later in life. The findings suggest parenting style shapes not just behavior but children's emotional lives, a link the authors say warrants further research into long-term wellbeing outcomes.
Why now: New research linking parenting style to children's lifelong mental health resonates with parents and policymakers alike.
