A Mother's Love Breeds Confidence for Life

For people who have not grown up with the security of a loving family, a recent article in the BBC, that points out how a loving mother can impact a person's confidence for life, should come as no surprise. In researching mothers who responded immediately and lovingly to their children's needs, it was found that the long term effects were adults who had confidence and a more positive out look about their place in the world.

In contrast, children who grew up without the stability of a loving and attentive mother often experienced a lack of confidence, insecurity and difficulty created stable bonds with other people long into adulthood.
