Your attitude during pregnancy could have an effect on your child's ability in math and science, according to a new study.
Using data from Bristol's Children of the 90s study the research is one of a series from the University of Bristol, that examines a parental personality attribute known as the 'locus of control'. This is a psychological measure of how much someone believes that they have control over the outcome of events in their life or whether external forces beyond their control dictates how life turns out.
Candler Professor of Psychology Stephen Nowicki at Emory University, Atlanta, a co-author, and expert on locus of control added:
"Internal parents believe that they have behavioural choices in life. This and other findings from our child development work with the University of Bristol with expectant parents show that when they expect life outcomes to be linked to what they do their children eat better, sleep better and are better able to control their emotions. Such children later in childhood are also more likely to have greater academic achievements, fewer school related personal and social difficulties and less likelihood of being obese.
"It is possible for a parent to change their outlook; we've demonstrated in the past that parents who become more internal (i.e. learn to see the connections between what they do and what happens to their children) improved their parenting skills which would have a positive effect on their children's personal, social and academic lives."

I think this is true. Positivity in general while raising kids is key. If you're always negative with a bad outlook on life then you won't show positivity about their grades and future. Kids can tell if they're seen as a good thing in your life or some burden. Showing love and being positive about their future and being there with optimistism every step of the way encourages the child to succeed. They want their parents to be proud of them and to achieve things. Parents need to change their outlook if it's suffering.

I would go as far to state the father's general state of physical/emotional/intellectual being has an effect on the child as well. When my father and mother conceived me, my father had less of a weight problem...hence I never really had much of an issue staying "fit". He had more of a weight issue when conceiving my brother and my brother in turn always had/has a weight issue.
Sex is a process of transferring yourself to another, and people do not understand that at both the reproductory and relationship level, sex is a powerful rational force that not only creates "identity" but effectively "destroys" it simultaneously.
The promiscuous nature of women only causes an increase in emotional instability as they absorb, figuratively and literally, the some degree of the identity of the man they are with.
Dually the promiscuous nature of man, as objectifying women, in turn robs the man of identity by reducing him to merely a "cog in the machine" where his rational faculties are subject to the ever turning wheels of gratification at the loss of a rational identity.
Sexuality is the closest thing we have in understanding Divinity, and I say that not arguing that a "hedonistic" perspective should be taken but rather the complete opposite.
