Every young man dreams of getting married and building a small family, and having children to raise them on love and good morals, and the mother may find that having a child is nothing but fatigue, exhaustion and a great responsibility that she can bear, but what you do not know is that there are some benefits that we learn about in this report, according to the website. "parents".
Benefits of having children
One scientific study indicated that having children helps reduce stress, increase focus and a love of knowledge, and one of the studies published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society tested 830 middle-aged women, to determine whether there is a link between late childbearing and strength. mind, and found that women who gave birth to their last child after the age of 35, had sharper perception and verbal memory.
One of the benefits of having children is an increase in human maturity, which comes with taking responsibility and education, which also plays a positive role in improving the sense of parenting.
- Many studies have indicated that having children makes parents more financially stable, in terms of saving money and depositing it in the bank to secure the children's future.
A 2015 study published in Menopause found that women who had children after age 33 were more likely to live to 95, compared to women who last had children before age 30.
But
But this link is not inevitable, as it depends on the number of children the couple has, and perhaps the reason for the positive effect of childbearing on health is that parents are more motivated to care about their health after having children compared to people who do not have children.
But having a large number of children leads to psychological and nervous tension, given the constant economic suffering of parents to secure the children's needs.
Having only two children is the ideal situation, according to the British Journal of Social Science and Health.
The researchers studied the records of Norwegian men and women born between 1935 and 1968 by dates of birth and death, and the records showed that the most deaths were among those who did not have any children, while the second place was for those who had only one child.
Especially since these people showed that they had more alcohol, depressive, or health problems than their peers who had children, according to the records.
health problems; Like circulatory diseases, the majority were among women, while men showed that they were more susceptible to lung diseases, and families with more children also had health problems, but non-bearing people showed that they visited the doctor less than those who gave birth.
And analyzes were conducted by British and Norwegian scientists, the results of which showed that having four or more children increases the chances of the mother developing cervical cancer, and increases the chances of men being exposed to fatal diseases such as heart disease.
Researcher Emily Grande, from the London School of Medicine and Public Health, says, "Having four or more children increases the parents' exposure to psychological stress, and increases economic and social problems, as ordinary people gain some social benefits when having children, but having a large number turns these benefits into Indignation".
But in comparison, having a large number of children reduces her chances of developing breast cancer; The physical changes associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding help prevent breast cancer.
But these studies have shown that having three children achieves good general health, but the ideal situation remains with having only two children; Because it provides a healthy balance of money with mental health.
According to parents who have fathered three children, “the number three is a magic number that gives them happiness and satisfaction with their families.”
A recent study conducted a questionnaire on ninety thousand British fathers and mothers about the extent of family happiness and how many children bring them happiness.
It showed that marriages become stronger after the arrival of a child in the family, and that families with three children were the happiest of the total number.
And she showed that the arrival of a child to the family brought happiness to married couples only, while it caused differences for couples who live with each other only without marital bond, according to a study conducted at the University of Glasgow.
Researcher Louis Engels says that the marital bond prepares the spouses to receive children, but the happiness of having children for married people continues only until the birth of the third child, as reaching the fourth child reduces the percentage of satisfaction with family life.
