Every Child Needs - 3

 Affection

Physical touch helps babies sleep better and supports their brain development. 

A study that followed 500 infants until they were in their 30s found that babies whose mothers were the most affectionate were less likely to grow up to be anxious, emotionally distressed, or hostile. 

This may be because physical affection releases a hormone called oxytocin, which is important in building social bonds. 

Children with higher levels of oxytocin may be primed for better social interactions and relationships in the future.

Spread love because if you don't these children will grow feeling unloved - something harmful to their social life.
