physiology of parenting

Parents need to understand the physiological psychology of parenting.

Sounds like a mouthful of big words , however, physiological psychology is an integral aspect of parenting.

Not only are parents simply human beings having and caring for children. They are people raising people. They make the greatest impact on their children of all other influences in their lives. Parents provide children with all basic needs as well as teach children to think, know, and feel, what they do about themselves and the world around them. Parents are core in the development of their childrens' self esteem, personalities, and how their children interact with others in the world.

So how does all this happen? It happens as a result of a parents brain function. HMMMM.
Well basically all that we know and do begins in the brain. Our brains and nervous systems as a whole have everything to do with our behavior.

Our behavior as parents, how we think, feel, and behave will teach our children. How we as parents speak to and interact with our children will teach them. Everything a parents does will teach their children something.

SO there are many details about how our brain supports and allows our behaviors. And how our brain is the center of our physiology as well as our psychology.

So it is very important to better understand how this all works even at a very basic level in order to understand how to be a better parent!

got good communication skills parents?

Most people do not give much thought to communication...much less their communication skills.

Many consider speaking and hearing the only aspects of communication.

Many problems that parents experience with their children in life are related to poor communication skills, specifically inability to accurately express oneself and inability to interpret what is being said or observed as it is intended.

Communication involves much much more than simply talking and hearing words.

Just for starters and a little food for thought...other aspects of this complex topic, communication, include verbal and non verbal methods of communicating, listening, comprehension, thought processing, interpretation, schemas, attribution theory, brain function, intonations, pace, volume, body language, dialect, idiolect, habitual behavior, intellect, learning, retention, gender, experience, personality, knowledge, not to mention perception, physiology, social, molecular and other biological differences related to speech, hearing and other communication brain functions.

talk much? what are you saying? what are you hearing? what are you communicating?
