Nobody teaches us to be parents but at the same time affects everything about parenting. The parenting style implemented, studies confirm a strong influence not only on the nature of the child but also on its brain growth.
mode parental education exerts its effects not only on the character of the children, but also on their brain growth. This is what emerged from the study conducted by Kosuke Narita University 'Gunma in Japan and published in the journal Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry
sure the style and parental the way they were raised in the first 16 years of 50 teens in the experiment, the researchers found that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has less gray matter in the guys who claim to have been overly protective parents that did not want them to grow and prevented the development of autonomy and independence.
Therefore, controlling the volume of the brain, scientists have observed that those who had overprotective parents show an abnormality in the cortex of the brain like those who grew up with an absent father.
neural abnormalities in this area in other studies were related to mental disorders such as mood disorders and schizophrenia.
interpretation of these assumptions will lead researchers to identify, as a cause of this trend, an excessive presence of the 'stress hormone : the corticola.
overprotective parenting style, as the absence of a father's education are a source of stress in children.
The infant interacts
Until the year 60/70, the effect of social prejudices, the child immediately after birth was considered passive, unable to act in a productive way.
The most important research on the psychological development of the newborn have totally disowned these theories.
It is now scientifically indisputable that the baby has a range of skills .
The Infant Reasearch, or research in the field of child development in recent decades has focused on the evolutionary processes that lead the child to build stable patterns of experimentation, adaptation to the world around him and attachment bonds.
The baby is in a state of dependence on caregivers. Driven by needs, requires the support of the adult to see them satisfied.
The adult reference may represent a means to live a state of satisfaction as frustration.
Stern, representative of important works in the context of developmental research, shows that the individual is motivated by a innate drive to create relationships and the nature of these influences on the path of growth.
Stern also pointed out that the human brain is programmed to tune with the reality that surrounds him.
In this perspective, the structuring of a sense of personal efficacy, is interwoven with the early experiences of "relational exchanges . For example, when the baby is hungry is in a state of need, the appropriate response to a signal of hunger, transforms the internal state of tension and helplessness in the child's satisfaction.
The expression of parenting is influenced by the way of being, acting of every single parent.
become parents are particularly significant in a number of factors such as age and maturity of the parents, their relationship with their parents and social support available. If new parents are also a couple of great power which affects the level of marital satisfaction before the arrival of this child.
In psychology, having This combination between these poles:
· care / hostility
· severity / permissiveness
· responsiveness / unresponsiveness
· / am not demanding
are distinguished 4 different parenting styles .
authoritarian style: there is a strong affirmation of parental power and detached attitude, parents who fall in this style are demanding management, use intimidating behavior, demand obedience without explanation . Their children may tend to be rude, insolent, employees and socially incompetent.
permissive style: it is characterized by love and affection, limited control, such as parents less severe and inconsistent about discipline , consult the child on the decisions and explain the reasons for the rules, do not appear as active agents and are responsible for correcting any misbehavior of the child. Their children may tend to be no goals, just not assertive and interested in the results.
authoritative style, it combines high levels of concern is that application of results. Parents who adopt this style have a firm control over their children, but use non-punitive manner, encourage verbal exchanges and respect the wishes of the child . Communicate standards of conduct without excessive restrictions using the reason that power; express affection and often in a warm . Their children tend to be more capable, confident in their ability, interest in the results, socially responsible, with self-control and cooperation towards adults heparin.
style overlooking or rejection : it belongs to those parents who adopt a disengaged behavior, which are not responsive or demanding ; little children will mature, both social and cognitive .
As witnessed by now a substantial number of studies, parents are a pin in the life of the individual.
E ̒ essential for a peaceful growth, feel they have behind a "secure base " reference.
Be a secure base not to say or assume the colors of the denial, rigidity, or protection in the round.
