Social skills

Fathers play a surprisingly large role in their child's development -- from language and cognitive growth in toddlerhood to social skills in fifth grade, a new study has found.

The study opens possibilities for research into treatments of Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is characterised by reduced social skills, repetitive behaviour, behavioural disorders, a severe lack of language development and other clinical symptoms.

According to a study done by University of Cambridge, kids get more satisfaction from relationships with their household pets than with their brothers or sisters.
