Mom magic

May 19, 2010 by Brigitte Pellerin 1 Comment

Ha!

A loving mother who kisses her child’s boo-boos may be providing more health benefits than she knows.

New research indicates that early childhood experiences can have a lasting effect on health by influencing a person’s risk for chronic inflammation, the immune reaction that is the body’s first line of defense against disease. Moms who soothe a child can help reduce stress, calming the hormones that can contribute to inflammation, the study suggests.

I wonder if it works with daycare workers?

    I kind of resent the tone in this post…being a working mother who relies on an amazing caregiver to step in while I go to my job. Call me defensive, which I probably am, but the post bothers me nonetheless. I am prolife, pro motherhood, and certainly pro women, but is daycare not considered a legitimate, sometimes necessary? option for some?
