Social Benefits Linked to Children Attending Church Young people aged 6-17 who attend religious services weekly are linked to positive developmental outcomes, according to a special report entitled National Survey of Children's Health Finds That Children and Parents of the Religious Intact Family Do Best on Child Development. These children and youth exhibit the fewest behavior problems, are more likely to have a high-quality relationship with their parents, and are more likely to exhibit positive social behavior, including showing respect for teachers and neighbors, getting along with other children, understanding other people's feelings, and trying to resolve conflicts with classmates, family or friends. In addition, parents of children who worship at least weekly have the lowest parenting stress levels. The highest-ranked states according to percent of children attending religious services regularly: Mississippi (92%) Louisiana (90%) Alabama (90%) South Carolina (88%) Arkansas (87%) The lowest-ranked states: Vermont (45%) New Hampshire (51%) Maine (51%) Massachusetts (59%) Nevada (60%) Ages 70-75 Fastest Growing Segment of Internet Users The Web continues to be populated largely by younger generations, as more than half of the adult Internet population is between 18 and 44 years old. But larger percentages of older generations are online now than in the past, and they are doing more activities online. The charge to the Internet for senior citizens is being led by those in the 70-75 year-old age group, according to a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The report says this age group has increased Internet use more than any other since 2005. Instant messaging, social networking, and blogging have gained ground as communications tools, according to Pew, but email remains the most popular online activity, particularly among older Internet users. Americans Relocating Less Frequently The percentage of Americans moving each year has been declining since its peak in 1951, when 21% of the American population moved, according to the U.S. Census Bureau In 1971, 18.7% of the population moved; in 1991, 17% moved, and in 2001 the percentage was down to 14.2. Between 2006 and 2007, 38.7 million people moved in the United States: 25.2 million stayed in the same county, 7.4 million moved to a different county within the same state, 4.9 million moved to a different state and 1.2 million moved to the U.S. from abroad. The Northeast had the lowest moving rate (9%), followed by the Midwest (13%), the South (14%) and the West (15%). The moving rates for the South and the West were not significantly different. In 2008 the percentage of the American population moving reached its lowest point at 12%.
