Is it better to be a mama to do?

Mothers who have to leave the meetings to make it work in the school play at the right time, and will welcome the results of research that shows the presence of significant adverse effects on the growth of the child's social or emotional if their mothers worked during the first years of their lives.

Any mothers who juggle work and child-rearing will sigh with relief in the new study, funded by the Council of Economic and Social Research (ECRC) on employment of maternal and child social and emotional behavior in the UK.

According to the study, the scenario was the perfect home for children where both parents lived in the house, and both were in paid work, but the effect of this arrangement depends in part on the order the father works.

The researchers discovered that the study also addressed in the data form the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study, the relationship between behavioral difficulties and the work of the mother was stronger for girls than boys. It also found that:

- The boys in the house, where she holds the mother and breadwinner, the more difficulties at the age of the children living with two working parents. Do the same does not apply to girls.

- Also found that girls in traditional families where the breadwinner and the father were more likely to have difficulties at the age of five girls living in binary source of the family.

Said Dr Anne McMunn, the principal investigator in this study:

"Mothers who work are more likely to have higher education qualifications, live in a family with high income, and have a lower likelihood of depression than mothers who do not work with pay. These factors explain the higher levels of difficulties, behavioral male non - working mothers, but the same was not true for girls. "

"I have proposed some studies have shown that whether or not mothers work in the first year of a child's life could be of particular importance for the results at a later time. In this study, we have not seen any evidence of an effect on the long term is harmful to the child's behavior of working mothers, while Year of the Child of age, "states Dr Anne McMunn.

Previous research has shown that children who grew up in families, or single mother families with no parent is working and it was unlikely that the challenge in the age of five in families where both parents work.
