Study Shows Children Are Worse When Their Mothers Are Around

Kids are really worse when their mothers are around…Why?

The Reason Why Children are 800% Worse When Their Mothers Are Around is simple. If your child acts up in front of you it means that you are being a good mom, and doing your job just right.

If the children are under 10, the percentage DRASTICALLY increases to shocking 1,600% researchers say.

Dr. Heather Wittenberg, a child psychologist, said

"Children save their best — and worst — for us, as parents. They’re their ‘true selves’ with us. It takes energy to ‘be good’ and follow the rules — especially for young children — so when they get home, they let it all hang out. The good news is that their deepest love, affection, admiration, and goofiness are reserved for us, too."

The study was first published in momnewsdaily and soon went viral.

The survey contacted 500 families to check and report their findings.

Dr. K.P Leibowitz, Professor of Marriage and Family Psychology, reported that.

"What we found was that children as young as eight-months-old could be playing happily but upon seeing their mother enter a room were 99.9% more likely to begin crying, release their bowels, and need her immediate attention. The .1% was a vision-impaired child but once he heard his mother’s voice he began throwing things and asked for a snack despite having just eaten. Truly fascinating."

Or poops on the floor, or whines their way through whole days and weeks, keep your chin up.

The researchers studied how the children would respond to discipline.

They explain that 100% of the children responded more to instructions when they were given by people other than the mother.

It’s not just about seeking motherly attention.

It’s more like distinguishing any need to become better once they are around their mothers.
