The importance of the mother and child bond

One of the first relationships a baby will have begins right after birth with a very important person – mother. In theCB1063511950′s it was assumed that a baby’s mother will be it’s primary care-giver. Since the 1990′s it is often assumed that it will be someone else.

The quality of the bond between mother and baby affects a child’s ability as an adult on many levels. A child views that person as a safe base from which to explore the world. Someone to go to when stressed or hurt. Without a secure mother-figure a child may have  a intense stress reaction when exposed to a unexpected event. Having a secure, strong relationship with a care-giver which is consistently involved in a baby’s life will build confidence into a child. This will influence his attitude towards life’s twists and turns.

A firm bond between mother and child will allow a child to thrive in his world because he feels safe and loved. This in turn has a huge influence on a child’s self-esteem. In time such a child will be able to trust others, handle stress better and rebound from disappointment. A baby with a strong bond with a mother-figure normally becomes independent and self-reliant toddlers.

The strength of the bond will be reflected in a child’s schoolwork and social interaction with peers. Researchers seem to have found a link between mathematical skills and child’s bond with his mother.

A child who is neglected undergoes physical changes  to the frontal cortex of the brain. This area of the brain enables a orphanschild to identify other people’s feelings and have empathy – a essential part of emotional intelligence. This is a very uncomfortable and sad truth when one considers the thousands of children in over-populated orphanages or those who live on the streets.
