Why heavy character of the child depends on the mother?

In the womb, which is all the time worried that the child is ready to resist the aggressive environment.

Difficult children are likely to be inherited hypersensitivity in the womb, says researcher Jerry GIESBRECHT from the University of calgary in Canada. The scientist decided to investigate the relationship between mother's mood and levels of stress hormone cortisol in the sample of 85 women.





Cortisol is associated with the development of the fetus, itself much enlarged during pregnancy. But irregular increase in the concentration of a hormone can depend on the mood of a woman. I mean, it's like warning the kid about what kind of environment awaits him after birth.





So, if the mother will experience a lot of stress and cortisol rise, the child thinks it is waiting for a hostile environment and you need to prepare the system of the body so as to form an adequate response. That is, increasing the level of anxiety and sensitivity to possible threats to power a hyperactive stress system.
