How love blossoms between me and my child
The bond between parent and child is one of the strongest connections in nature. Romances come and go, but once you’ve bonded with your baby you’re probably hooked for life, and not because you enjoy the prospect of changing thousands of diapers. Clearly, children have the ability to reach deep into our brains as well as our hearts.
The love you feel for your child isn’t just intellectual or cultural — it’s a basic part of your makeup. In recent years, scientists have started to explore this mysterious but crucial part of human nature. Their findings help explain why babies are so addictive and why we deeply love our older children, tantrums, arguments, and all. The bond will change over the years, but its importance never fades. Your child needs love like he needs food. And, even if you’re a little nervous about parenthood, you’ll be ready to give him the love he needs. After all, you have biology on your side.
The bond between me and my son grows stronger in the toddler years, even if he spends much of the time stomping and screaming. In fact, those fits are a testament of our closeness. Tantrums from toddlers are a bit like lover’s quarrels, according to Adam. “They’re only capable of that meltdown because they love you so much,” she says. In other words, my child couldn’t be so disappointed or angry unless he trusted me deeply in the first place.
When Migs started to call me “Mommy”, the joy in my heart was overwhelming. It is something that money can’t buy or any material thing for an exchange. I feel his love outpouring and give me happiness for the rest of my life.
