One of the questions that concerns many parents is at what age does a child need emotional contact? When does he begin to feel? And when does his soul develop? And in general, when does he have a feeling soul?<\/p>\r\n
Well, the studies are surprising and reveal that this happens before he is born.<\/p>\r\n
Since its formation in its mother's womb, the fetus absorbs and perceives from the environment, through the walls of the womb and even from within the mother's body, it senses her soul, and thus its soul is bound to her soul.<\/p>\r\n
Fetuses and infants have active minds, extremely refined sensory and emotional systems, they are also endowed with high sensitivity and have many abilities beyond what we thought.<\/p>\r\n
The maternal womb is the first field of relationships, providing the fetus with a supportive environment in which basic needs for security, nourishment, and emotional resonance are met. In the absence of a beneficial environment, the fetus is harmed, even if it has basic life-sustaining defenses at its disposal.<\/p>\r\n
How does a child acquire emotional intelligence?<\/b><\/p>\r\n
Human development is a continuum that extends from the prenatal period (before birth) into postnatal life. When optimal conditions exist during the period before conception, pregnancy, birth, and the first year of life, we can expect the child to have good abilities for emotional intelligence, mental flexibility, self-regulation, resilience, stable attachments, and healthy and fulfilling relationships.<\/p>\r\n
From the beginning of life, the baby experiences and internalizes what its mother experiences and feels. For the baby, the relationship of the father or partner with the mother and the baby is an integral part of the foundations of its initial life, and is essential for their optimal construction.<\/p>\r\n
The innate need for security, belonging, love and nourishment, to feel wanted, valued and seen as a unique self, is present in us from the first moment of life. Meeting these needs and creating an appropriate environment supports optimal development.<\/p>\r\n
What causes the disorder? <\/b>OCD<\/b>?<\/b><\/p>\r\n
It is important to know that from the beginning of life, babies perceive, communicate, and learn in ways that include sensory, physical, and extrasensory communication. Therefore, it is essential to respect and nurture the bond between mother and baby during pregnancy, birth, and infancy.<\/p>\r\n
All relationships and encounters with the mother, baby, and father during the early period affect the baby's quality of life and build the foundation for his life. Supportive, loving, and healthy relationships are essential for shaping optimal early foundations.<\/p>\r\n
The period of pregnancy and childbirth is a window of opportunity for primary prevention of some of the child's mental and physical disorders.<\/p>\r\n
Researchers have found a link between experiences of stress and anxiety in pregnant women and the development of anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, ADHD, bedwetting, stuttering. There has also been a link between the mother's level of depression during pregnancy and the children's irritable behavior as adults.<\/p>\r\n
Therapeutic treatment is appropriate for the anxious, hesitant, repulsive, and disappointed mother. Early intervention that deals with providing information and emotional processing of anxieties, expectations, bonding with the fetus, and preparation for the postpartum period will be significant for the experience of motherhood and for the fetus that will travel with it on its life journey.<\/p>\r\n
