Dummy for boys - dangerous dependency

According to psychologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, pacifiers are not as innocuous as that's what the majority of young parents. According to experts, these nipples have a negative effect on the emotional development of children.


According to researchers, children learn to interact with others through imitation and copy the facial expressions of adults, this helps the child to understand what experiences other people. According to researchers, if the boy is to give a pacifier, it will be a violation of the process of cognition of the world through imitation.




Scientists conducted an experiment which involved boys six, seven years of age, students, and older men. Researchers have found, up to what age the child was given a pacifier, and then volunteers showed videos. Then the subjects had to repeat the expressions on the faces of these rollers. After this, a test was conducted on empathy. It turned out that the worst results were from those who in childhood have long used a dummy.




According to Professor Paula, Niedenthal, we talk with children, but they are unable to understand the meaning of words. Initially, the children perceive only the facial expression, and intonation. If at this time the child's mouth is empty, it is almost impossible to repeat it.




Notable is the fact that the dummy does not have a negative impact on girls. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the boys nervous system is more vulnerable, unlike girls.
