Originally developed to describe stable romantic relationships, the 5:1 ration can be applied to parenting, too.<\/p>\n
Striving to create five positive interactions for every negative one creates a lasting emotional connection between mothers and their children.<\/p>\n
The 5:1 Ratio For Marriages<\/h2>\n
According to researchers John Gottman and Robert Levenson first used the term “5:1 Ratio” to describe how married couples related in the 1970s.<\/p>\n
The five refers to positive interaction and the one, negative. The idea is that for every negative interaction during conflict-eye rolling, criticism, etc.<\/p>\n
To come to this conclusion, Gottman and Levenson asked couples to resolve a conflict in their marriage in 15 minutes. Researchers observed how partners treated each other while they problem solved.<\/p>\n
The scientists found that they were able to predict which marriages would prosper over time and which would fail with 90% accuracy.<\/p>\n
When the masters of marriage are talking about something important, they may be arguing, but they are also laughing and teasing and there are signs of affection because they have made emotional connections.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
