We all want to have our kids see "the magic in the little things." Here's how.

Online dating is an emotional rollercoaster.

It's a hotly-debated topic for lots of families - who did the kids inherit their intelligence from?

Mums and dads like to joke that the positive traits their kids have come from them, whether it's smarts, good looks, sports skills or musical ability.

But there's actually a scientific reason kids inherit their intelligence from their mums - so sorry about that, dads.

Multiple studies show that the X chromosome is responsible for carrying intelligence.

Women have two of these chromosomes (XX) and men have only one (XY) - so they are twice as likely to pass down intelligence to their children than the fathers are.

So if you're looking for a way to solve the argument, mums, this could be it.

There have been several studies that have sought to prove the theory over the years.

One study at the Medical Research Council Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in Glasgow, revealed that kids' IQs tend to be similar to their mothers'.

Researchers interviewed kids every year from the age of 14-22, taking into account various factors like education and socio-economic status.

They found that the best predictor of intelligence was their mothers - and the young people's IQs were only around 15 points different.

But not all scientists agree on this basic X chromosome principle.

Other researchers have highlighted genetics are not the only factor in determining a child's intelligence.

According to Psychology Spot , it's estimated that 40-60% of intelligence is hereditary - the rest comes from our environment.

So mums and dads can both play an important role in their children's emotional and intellectual development by building confidence, playing and teaching them new skills.

Connected devices are important these days to allow people to connect with one another.

However, for many, these devices also serve as an excuse to avoid interacting with other people when faced with an awkward social situation.

The latest survey by Moscow-based cyber security company Kaspersky Lab found this tendency after 75 per cent of respondents admitted that they pretended to be busy with their devices when they do not want to talk to other people.

“Dependency on connected devices affect our lives more than we think. Undoubtedly, being connected is convenient.

However, devices are also important to help people get through various social situations that are difficult,” said Kaspersky Lab product marketing VP Dimitry Aleshin in a statement on Friday as quoted by Antara.

Additionally, the study also suggests that 72 per cent of respondents have used connected devices when they do not know what to do in certain situations.

This behaviour also serves as a form of distraction without having to appear busy or when they are avoiding eye contact with someone. Meanwhile, up to 46 per cent of respondents said they used their devices only in their spare time and 44 per cent used it as a daily distraction.

The study also shows that almost 31 per cent of respondents prefer to book a taxi or look for directions when travelling via websites or applications because it allows them to not speak to other people.

Due to these two functions of avoiding direct contact and assisting in daily social situations, our constant dependence on connected devices causes a huge panic whenever they malfunction.
