From an early age, emotional comfort is as important as meeting basic physical needs. Even in the first days of life, the child is able to experience various emotional states and express them.

However, British scientists have gone a step further and conducted a number of studies to see how emotional comfort stimulates. brain development. The results of their work can not be called otherwise amazing.

Using X-rays, the British studied the brains of three-year-old children living in different emotional conditions. It turned out that the brain of the baby, who lived in a friendly and loving family, was almost 2 times more developed than the brain of the child, which almost did not pay attention.

Judging by the development of the brain, this boy from a dysfunctional family does not realize his mental potential, he will be less capable of learning, empathy, adulthood. But his chances of becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs are higher, the researchers said.

“The growth and development of a child’s brain depends on a positive connection between mother and baby,” said Allan Shore, one of the UK’s leading experts in the field.





DepositPhotos notes that 80% of human brain cells are formed in the first 2 years of life. So, this time is extremely important for the personal development of the child.

According to Shor, from the beginning of the third trimester of pregnancy to the 24th month of life, a baby’s brain increases by more than 2.5 times, but only if it gets the “right experience.”





“The brain does not grow indefinitely. Later, it is simply rebuilt, and with each such restructuring, some neural connections are destroyed and new ones appear. A child needs adequate contact with adults to grow and develop. After all, those neural connections that are not used by it quickly collapse, reducing the overall potential of the brain, explains Allan Shore.

Therefore, the neuropsychoanalyst encourages parents to devote a lot of time to the child from the first day, without waiting for the child to grow up and go to school. Baby brain develops rapidly, so let the child listen to good music, read fairy tales, talk to him, breastfeed, create a favorable environment around.

The main message is that parents should not just be present, but be emotionally involved in the life of the child. Then he will develop well and constantly delight them with his successes. And don’t loving mom and dad want their child to grow up to be a successful, independent and happy person?
