Many parents worry their child’s bad behaviour is a result of their parenting mistakes, but new research suggests this may not be the case. A study found that some children are genetically predisposed to behavioural problems. The research shows that some children display poor self-control and anger problems in a preschool setting because they have inherited the traits from their parents. Researchers at Oregon State University believe genetics explain why some children thrive at preschool while others develop behavioural problems. Lead author, Dr Shannon Lipscomb, said: ‘Assuming that findings like this are replicated, we can stop worrying so much that all children will develop behaviour problems at centre-based care facilities, because it has been a concern. |
