An active male role in the early stages of babies’ development produced better performance in cognitive tests by the age of two, researchers found. They say the findings show the value of early paternal involvement. Previous studies found that men tended to have a more stimulating, vigorous style, encouraging a child’s risk-taking and exploration tendencies, which, in turn, might facilitate cognitive development.

Sam
Well, either way, it doesn’t seem like a lot of time to spend with your child. Surely a child should spend at least an hour a day with their fathers!

Phil
An hour?! Really? Have you ever spent time with children? It’s hard work!

Sam
If what the research says is true, fathers can help develop their child’s cognitive development just by spending time with them.

ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Cognitive development’ ተገንዝቦኣዊ ዕብየት ማለት ኮይኑ፡ ኣብ ናይ ቆልዓ ምሕሳብን ምርዳእን ክእለት ዘቶኩር ዓውደ መጽናዕቲ’ዩ።

Phil
But surely, fathers spending time with their children isn’t the only thing that helps a child’s cognitive development. What about their mothers?

Sam
Well of course, mothers have an important role to play, but the research shows that a father’s involvement, which is on the rise, has its own benefits.

Phil
Really? Paternal involvement is on the rise?

ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
እወ! ‘Paternal’ ኣባታዊ ማለት’ዩ። ብመሰረት ዩኒቨርሲቲ ለንደንን ዩኒቨርሲቲ ሰቪያን ዝገበረኦ መጽናዕቲ፡ ኣቦታት ኣብ 70ታት ምስ ደቆም ክሳብ 5 ደቓይቕ ጥራሕ’ዮም ዘሕልፉ ኔይሮም። ናብ ናይ ሎሚ ምስ እንመጽእ ሎሚ ዘለዉ ኣቦታት ንመዓልቲ፡ ከባቢ 35 ደቓይቕ ምስ ደቆም ከምዘሕልፉ እቲ መጽናዕቲ ብተወሳኺ ሓቢሩ። ስለዚ እቲ ቅኑዕ መልሲ ሀ. እዩ።

Sam
Wow, paternal involvement is only 35 minutes a day? That makes me so sad.

Sam
Yes, but still, I don’t think it’s enough. The news report mentioned that paternal involvement helps a child be a risk-taker.

ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘A risk-taker’ ዕድሉ ዝፍትን ማለት’ዩ። Are you a risk-taker, Phil?

Phil
Sure, and I rarely spent time with my father growing up.

Sam
You’re not a risk-taker! And what about exploration tendencies? The news report told us that paternal involvement helps with developing a child’s exploration tendency.

ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Exploration tendency’ ትርጉሙ ናይ ምድህሳስ ዝንባለ’ዩ - ወይ ከኣ ብኻልእ ኣዘራርባ ባዕላኻ ምርምርን መጽናዕቲን ብምክያድ ሓድሽ ነገር ክትፈልጥ ምፍታን ማለት’ዩ።

Phil
Another false claim. I’m always exploring to learn new things by myself, and again, I didn’t spend much time with my father.

Sam
Stop lying to the audience, Phil!

ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
I think Sam has got a point.

Phil
What do you mean? I’m always learning things by myself and solving all of my own problems.

Sam
No, you don’t. Whenever you come across a problem, the first thing you do is ask someone near you for an answer.

Phil
Yeah, and I actively look for answers!

Sam
Ugh, I give up.
