A new study to be published on May 12 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B has found a motherâ??s voice can quell her young daughterâ??s stress with a quick phone call. Three researchers at University of Wisconsin Madison stressed out a group of tween girls aged 7-12 in front of strangers and divided them into three groups where different treatments were applied. One groupâ??s mothers were present to calm them down, another spoke to their mothers on the phone and the last group watched an emotion-neutral 75-minute video.
