PRINCETON, NJ — According to a new study, researchers have confirmed that approximately 98% of all parenting is just deciding if what they're hearing is "good screaming" or "bad screaming."

According to Dr. Brent Wayde, who conducted interviews and polls with thousands of parents across the nation, the vast majority of navigating child-rearing boils down to being able to tell whether or not the screams emanating from the next room indicated joyful playing or a painful injury.

"We found that the best parents were those who were able to correctly distinguish between a child's shouts of joy and unbridled rage," Wayde said. "It's often hard to tell the difference between screaming for ice cream and screaming because blood has been spilled, but seasoned parents develop the skill."
