Scientists from the Institute of child health, concluded that children of working mothers, more painful than those whose mothers do not work.

The study more than 12 thousand children five years old, it became clear that Chad is busy at work mom, spend more time at the computer or watching TV, and often eat junk food and drink soda. Less active way of living and poor nutrition lead to health problems. Children under the mother's supervision, spend more time outdoors, more active and having a healthy homemade diet.

The study took into account such factors as the level of education of mothers and socio-economic environment of families. And their employment – full or partial.

"We did not consider the father's role in this study since their level of employment has not changed for the last time, but the number of working mothers has increased substantially," says Professor Kate Lowe. "Our study does not advocate the abandonment of work and career. We focus on what the modern family needs support groups for parents and more flexible legislation."
