What about the dad's voice?

Back in the day, that could mostly depend on the teen's near-future need to get allowance money, car keys, etc. from dad.

Someone else linked to the study:

From the abstract, it looks like they used fMRI to look at the neural response to maternal voice vs non-family voices. I guess no data on dada.

(As a dad) Transforms into a grating, low-frequency whine, kind of like a bad back-beat that you can't get rid off.

That's kept for the next research grant.

I have a 15 year old and have directly observed the "tuning out mom" phenomenon. For whatever reason, my own dad voice still seems to bear weight. It's not clear to mom or I why that is, but I think the general consensus is that I'm less likely to weigh in on smaller things (state of hair, shirt tucking, etc), so that it's generally more "serious" when I'm involved, regardless of whether it's actually something actually more or less serious. Style-wise, I'm much more to coax than to nag or demand. (i.e. Not demand "do this now" but ask "when will this be done" and ensure a definite time is given as an answer and hold them to it)

I hope I remember this in 13 years. Sounds like a good approach w
