If all the babies of the world gathered at the WorldForum, their main demand probably can be expressed in this exclamation: »Where is my mother!». confidence and sense of security is more important for infants than for older children, but every child of any age need to feel that it belongs to someone. In the book »Usпех в браке» Дейвид Р. Мейс заявляет: «Главной причиной самых серьезных психических расстройств является оторванность от матери». Д-р William Glasser in his book »Treatment of reality»It points out that throughout our lives we need to feel that someone cares about us and what we have to give that person our best feelings. When this happens, we lose touch with reality and eventually go mad or die.

This truth has been proved by a number of researchexperiments. Dr. Harry Harlow studying rhesus monkeys small, which bring a doll made of terry cloth. In the hands of these puppets put a bottle of milk for the young monkey. Although the monkeys get good food, they do not feel real parental love and affection, because with them no mothers who have firmly embraced them. Growing up, these monkeys are unable to mate and exhibit bizarre antics and mannerisms are similar to those that can be seen in people with mental disorders.

If your child has a good emotional contact with his mother, if he feels safe and confident that his needs taken care of, it will develop a stable character and a good representation of himself.
