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!
