Mother’s Kiss Solves Most Problems

A mother’s kiss is simply the best possible medicine. They work so much for tears, for fear of being alone in the cradle at night, for poor digestion, for scratches on the knees as well as for those days when the trouble is fever or cold.

This gesture, which is so full of emotional vitamins, works in a way almost as good a “medicine” as antibiotics.

Mothers and fathers who show their love are very fond of embracing, kissing, and raising their children in a positive atmosphere, and this brings several benefits to the children.

At this point, it is appropriate to highlight some  studies conducted by Anna Freud (daughter of Sigmund Freud) regarding psychological and emotional recovery in children.

Her work was groundbreaking regarding the importance of the mother figure in a child’s life. The mother receives a kind of love that helps the child grow up healthy, mature, happy, and feeling safe.

Anna Freud defended the need to get the children home from the hospital as soon as possible. If the child was forced to leave the hospital, he believed it was very important that the mother was close. And if that’s the case, according to Freud, the child’s healing happens faster.

It is clear that the mother figure (as well as the father figure) has not undergone any formal healing training and thus does not have professional abilities in this sense. However, her  positive feelings communicate peace, security, and well-being that promotes rapid healing in the child.

So this time, in the Miracle of Motherhood, we want to address a topic called the awesome power of a mother’s kiss – keep reading and be surprised!

Mother’s kisses, caresses, and hugs promote the development of better resistance

The presence of the mother can make the child feel safe, protected and loved. It causes the baby’s brain to create less stress, and thus there is less cortisol in the baby’s blood.

Let’s take at least one example: Elias is a 5-year-old baby who is not cared for when he cries. Her parents decided that from birth she should try to get used to sleeping alone in her cradle as early as possible.

Here, Elias’ parents do not understand that the child’s crying is due to fears. Elias experiences loneliness and being rejected. She is away from what she needs most of all: her mother’s skin.

Elias ’brain will suffer from more stress, fear, and anxiety. He will have higher levels of cortisol in his blood. This then causes the immune system to weaken and weaken until the body is exposed to infections.

In contrast, a baby who regularly receives kisses from his mother and hugs from his father will secrete more endorphins and oxytocin.

This is also the case for those children who are comforted and always cared for. Resistance then intensifies, and the bond that the child has with his or her parents becomes stronger.

Raise your baby with kisses and laughter so you can dry his tears

Kisses are not just a gesture used to strengthen ties. We give these simple expressions of love to the people who live in our hearts – to those we love.

As basic as a kiss on a soft cheek or on a small baby’s head can bring an immediate sense of pleasure in a child. This thing quickly takes on a positive meaning in the child’s mind. Before you know it, your child is already beginning to understand the language of love.

• As your baby grows and begins to be more in touch with the world – at home, in the family, in care, or at play school – he or she will also face his or her first challenges and difficulties.
• Believe it or not, kisses and hugs for a child, for example after a fall or when we seek him or her for care, are great gestures to increase a child’s strength.
• No child becomes “pampered” by receiving expressions of love. It is an emotional level of gentle touch. It is a way to comfort the child and make him realize that whatever happens, you will always be by his side. You will always reduce her stress, make her laugh, take care of her and make her feel safe with every step.

We all know as mothers that the day will come when the child will be “embarrassed” because of these lavish expressions of love. However, keep in mind that this is all just pretense and surface. A surprising kiss can be a really great medicine for a teenage child as well.

It doesn’t matter that a child’s worries and thoughts are already a little more complicated in their teens, because deep down,  every teenager and adult is still a “child” —a person who needs expressions of love.

So never wonder if it’s a kiss on the cheek or a good or bad thing, and don’t restrain yourself. Give your child lots of kisses as they are the best medicine for many heart and perhaps even body ailments.
