Article Synopsis
- A study in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, examined the impact of birth intervals on the school performance of boys aged 9-10, finding that longer intervals between births (over 31 months) correlated with better academic outcomes.
- Data analysis revealed that children with longer succeeding birth intervals performed better academically compared to those with shorter intervals, suggesting the importance of timing in family planning for educational benefits.
- The study confirmed that children born after adequate birth intervals typically excel in school, emphasizing that couples should aim for a birth interval of about 3 years for optimal child development.
