Here,
to illustrate the connection between fatherhood and child well - being, I compare adolescent boys and girls who
fall into one of four categories: those living in an intact, married family with a high - quality
relationship with their father (top third), or an average - quality
relationship with their father (middle third), or a low - quality
relationship with him (
bottom third), or living in a single - mother family.
4) the end results on the
bottom of the first table (on maximum temperatures), clearly showed a drop in the speed of warming that started around 38 years ago, and continued
to drop every other period I looked / /... 5) I did a linear fit, on those 4 results for the drop in the speed of global maximum temps, versus time, ended up with y = 0.0018 x -0.0314, with r2 = 0.96 At that stage I was sure
to know that I had hooked a fish: I was at least 95 % sure (max) temperatures were
falling 6) On same maxima data, a polynomial fit, of 2nd order, i.e. parabolic, gave me y = -0.000049 × 2 + 0.004267 x — 0.056745 r2 = 0.995 That is very high, showing a natural
relationship, like the trajectory of somebody throwing a ball... 7) projection on the above parabolic fit backward, (10 years?)
If you're a parent, you may find yourself searching for a marital counselor because in the course of being super parents, you and your spouse have begun feeling the effects of allowing your
relationship to fall to the
bottom of your priority list.
