Hello Great Mothers!
The Attachment Theory defines parents as attachment figures to their children. This is because a child’s sense of emotional stability and psychological well-being depends on their relationship with their parents.
The impact of our love on our children’s character, personality development, and results in life is therefore unique. In my previous articles, I discussed one of the benefits of showing our children love and affection. This article will discuss yet another benefit.
The success of a child in life depends greatly on parental love.
In 1938, to learn how to raise successful people, Harvard University conducted a special research.
The pioneering Harvard Grant Study followed the 70-year progress of 268 Harvard undergraduates, including John F. Kennedy. Each participant’s emotional and physical health were noted, and their accomplishments—or lack thereof—were evaluated.
The researchers came to this conclusion:
i) A positive relationship with parents is the foundation of successful and happy lives.
ii)One of the best indicators for adults of future success, happiness, and life satisfaction is a sense of acceptance, nurturing, and parental love from their youth.
Another research was conducted by Harvard In the 1950s, This study was called the Harvard Mastery Of Stress Study. Researchers discovered that people who did not experience parent-child love were more than twice as likely to suffer from medical ailments 35 years later, such as alcoholism, duodenal ulcer, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and hypertension.
These studies show that a healthy parent-child relationship is key. As mothers, these responsibilities lie more on us because we spend more time with our children than their fathers. This is a result of the critical roles we play in the lives of our children. To ensure healthy relationships with our children, we must show them love and affection.
