Motherhood: Love Your Child, Don’t Spoil Your Child (2)

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.
