Toddlers love to help
Study shows babies love to help
A recent scientific study shows that babies and toddlers are naturally helpful. When the researcher performed a ordinary tasks in front of toddlers, each of 24 toddlers eagerly volunteered help within seconds - but only if he appeared to need it. The toddlers didn't bother to offer help when the researcher deliberately pulled a book off the stack or threw a pin to the floor.
Psychology researcher Felix Warneken, of Germany's Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology, reported these findings.
