While its good news, they purposefully didnt want to divide the work up to establish blood fathers as being the key. So they didnt make a distinction between step fathers and blood fathers.
Biologically there is a big difference to the children. As an example, girls who are raised away from their blood father, respond to this by changing the time of the onset of first menses. So in a family whose average age of onset of puberty is 14, will when the blood father is absent, have onset of puberty come earlier. As early as 8 years old in some cases.
Right now reasearchers are trying to find reasons for the condition that they are referring to as precocious puberty.
Researchers call this phenomenon “precocious puberty,” which some say is on the rise. Forty-eight percent of African-American girls and 15 percent of Caucasian girls show physical signs of puberty by age 8, according to a study of 17,000 U.S. girls published in Pediatrics in 1997. In a subsequent study of more than 2,000 boys, lead author Marcia Herman-Giddens found that 38 percent of African-American boys and 30 percent of Caucasian boys showed signs of sexual development by age 8.
Many of the work is devoted to environmental factors, as the researchers are not looking at what has been known for a long time. Ideology is keeping them from adding the lack of a blood father in the home as one of the mediators. Though this is not true of all the research into the problem, though they havent researched what is already known.
The age at which a girl begins menstruating has occurred at earlier and earlier ages. While some health professionals attribute this to genetic changes and adjustments associated with nutrition, there is some research that supports this earlier menstruation may be associate with emotional distress early in life. In fact, in girls without a father present, menstruation does seem to come at an earlier age. In addition to early menstruation, these same girls may also be at-risk for having children earlier and even experience more shortened life spans.
Most dance around the issue, because the ideology says that fathers are not needed, and so evidence that there are meaningful chemical links and awareness going on in our family units is a very sensitive problem for the ideology. The fact that people favor those genetically similar to them (family) and in proportion to that similarity, also adds to the slope that pushes us towards monogamous heterosexual pair bonding as the mean of behavior for the species.
Read evolutionary psychology and there is a neat explanation for this having to do with the fact that a girl who becomes a woman earlier becomes useful to the population as a progenitor, but before that, she represents someone elses genetic potential, and primates, both male and female, commit infanticide around family dissolutions and problems.
The effect is from smell, just as a woman checks her partner out by his smell assessing that he is different from her, and so the mix would make for children with more robust immune systems, the child that is born also monitors its environment below the conscious level. its body is trying to tell whether its more beneficial to mature up early, and not get killed, or to mature more slowly under the protection of a committed father, and learn more and be better skilled. Contrary to feminist assertions, maturing faster is not a sign of superior development, but inferior development. One only needs to consider the rate of learning vs time to see that unless the rate of learning is much faster, the time lost costs.
In other words, humans are much more complex than the ideology of feminism wants to allow them to be.
So is it any doubt the Swedes who have an agenda against traditional family through being a modern feminist state, would not want to make the distinction in their research between fathers who are blood related, and fathers who are not.
One thing no one has yet done was correlate the average onset of puberty, with the proportion of father headed families, with attention to what year the father became absent.
In 1997, a landmark study of 17,000 girls found that the average starting age of puberty had dipped a year from previous studies of Caucasian girls, to 9.7 years.
African-American girls hit puberty even earlier, at an average age of about 8, said Marcia Herman-Giddens, principal author of that study and a professor at the University of North at Carolina Chapel Hill.
With father absence being a lot higher earlier in the African community is it then so odd that they have a more marked response. The environmental contamination problem will not divide up along such lines. But the absence of fathers does line up with this and is ONE of many such issues that ideology is going to either have to adjust to, or force us to ignore (to our detriment and future health as a species).
Early maturity is also linked to a range of mental problems and social ills, so how its a vanity plus is beyond reason.
Children who have an active father figure have fewer psychological and behavioral problems
Active father figures have a key role to play in reducing behaviour problems in boys and psychological problems in young women, according to a review published in the February issue of Acta Paediatrica.
Swedish researchers also found that regular positive contact reduces criminal behaviour among children in low-income families and enhances cognitive skills like intelligence, reasoning and language development.
Children who lived with both a mother and father figure also had less behavioural problems than those who just lived with their mother.
The researchers are urging healthcare professionals to increase fathers involvement in their childrens healthcare and calling on policy makers to ensure that fathers have the chance to play an active role in their upbringing.
The review looked at 24 papers published between 1987 and 2007, covering 22,300 individual sets of data from 16 studies. 18 of the 24 papers also covered the social economic status of the families studied.
The smallest study focused on 17 infants and the largest covered 8,441 individuals ranging from premature babies to 33 year-olds. They included major ongoing research from the USA and UK, together with smaller studies from Sweden and Israel.
Our detailed 20-year review shows that overall, children reap positive benefits if they have active and regular engagement with a father figure says Dr Anna Sarkadi from the Department of Womens and Childrens Health at Uppsala University, Sweden.
For example, we found various studies that showed that children who had positively involved father figures were less likely to smoke and get into trouble with the police, achieved better levels of education and developed good friendships with children of both sexes.
Long-term benefits included women who had better relationships with partners and a greater sense of mental and physical well-being at the age of 33 if they had a good relationship with their father at 16.
However the authors point out that it is not possible to conclude what type of engagement the father figure needs to provide to produce positive effects.
The studies show that it can range from talking and sharing activities to playing an active role in the childs day-to-day care.
The researchers believe that more research is needed to determine whether the outcomes are different depending on whether the child lives with their biological father or with another father figure.
However, our review backs up the intuitive assumption that engaged biological fathers or father figures are good for children, especially when the children are socially or economically disadvantaged says Dr Sarkadi.
Children who lived with both a mother and father figure had less behavioural problems than those who lived with just their mother. However, it is not possible to tell whether this is because the father figure is more involved or whether the mother is able to be a better parent if she has more support at home.
The researchers feel that it is important that professionals who work with young children and their families explore how actively fathers are involved with their children from an early age.
Involving them in healthcare visits and explicitly seeking their opinions when making decisions could be a good way to promote high levels of engagement says Dr Sarkadi. Stressing that fathers have an important role in promoting their childs social and emotional development is another good strategy.
Governments and employers also have an important role to play in ensuring that men can spend quality time with their offspring, stress the authors.
Public policy has the potential to facilitate or create barriers to fathers spending time with their children during the crucial years of early development says Dr Sarkadi.
Unfortunately current institutional policies in most countries do not support the increased involvement of fathers in child rearing. Paid parental leave for fathers and employers sympathetic to fathers staying at home with sick children is still a dream in most countries.
We hope that this review will add to the body of evidence that shows that enlightened father-friendly policies can make a major contribution to society in the long run, by producing well-adjusted children and reducing major problems like crime and antisocial behaviour.
So what they are saying is that the past 40 years of their ideology has resulted in a huge amount of harm, and that father friendly policies are needed to reverse and do something to help alleviate all this damage.
Isnt it nice that they have only now decided to find out the facts?
I hope someone other than me realizes that if this is the TRUTH they are finding out now, then the WHOLE MOVEMENT is based on LIES, and a bunch of MADE UP stuff, that was only INVENTED, because it appeals to a womans VANITY of how she wants to see things, rather than the way that life OPPRESSES her from her biology up.
What we have now is a long arduous slog to get back to what things were because the more we find out about ourselves, the more we find out that different cultures were operating on the things that those cultures were able to glean over time. So things like prejudices, and other things have a necessary reason for being, whether we like it or not.
What will happen if this information is not suppressed, and more and more information like peri-menopause, the oxytocin hormone response system in women, MHC imuno-compatibility in smells, pheromones, and a huge host of things.
A lot of this is new, but a whole lot of this is also old, and much of ideological politics has insured that the public that might change their minds based in information doesnt get that information, as long as they trust the false source.
Oh what a tangles mess we weave when first we practice to deceive.
