Jason Weaver+FollowTurns Out We All Have a ‘Baby Radar’Ever wondered if you need to be a mom to pick up on a baby’s distress? Turns out, you don’t! A new study found that women—moms and non-moms alike—are equally tuned in to sad baby faces, even without realizing it. Our brains are basically hardwired to notice when a baby’s upset, which might explain why even non-parents get that urge to comfort a crying kid in public. Wild, right? #ScienceFacts #Parenting #HumanNature #Empathy #Research #Health134Share
Logan Flowers+FollowKids’ Mental Health Linked to Parents’ DiagnosisTurns out, kids with parents who have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder face a much higher risk of mental health struggles themselves. A four-year study found that these kids show specific symptom patterns—think attention issues and disruptive behavior for schizophrenia, and mood swings or ADHD for bipolar. But here’s the hopeful part: strong family support and better socioeconomic status actually help protect these kids. Researchers say early support and ongoing check-ins are key! #MentalHealthAwareness #Parenting #Research #FamilySupport #Schizophrenia #Health102Share
Courtney Williams+FollowLong COVID Messing With Your Sleep?Turns out, sleep issues like insomnia and sleep apnea are super common after COVID—and researchers at University of Arizona are on it. They’re running a study to figure out why so many people can’t shake off brain fog, fatigue, and restless nights after getting sick. They’re even offering at-home sleep tests and trying out melatonin and light therapy. If you’ve had COVID and your sleep’s been wrecked ever since, you might be able to join their trial! #LongCOVID #SleepProblems #HealthNews #Insomnia #Research #Health51Share
