Affective bonds are bonds of affection that are built over the course of life . The first bonds of affection usually created are between mothers, fathers and children. The family is the first place where affective and strongest bonds are created, which will last for a lifetime.
Attachment and affective bonds are part of the important points in the life of any human being. They are created naturally, without any effort and are usually built based on the reciprocity of feelings.
Affective Ties and Child Development
Focusing on a child’s physical and emotional development, the bonds of affective bonds interfere very strongly. Since they are babies they need a lot of attention and care with firmness and love, which goes beyond obligations. They need to feel safe and welcomed to overcome each phase and discovery of their life.
Nobody knows a child like the parents, so strengthening this bond and affective bonds every day, showered with a lot of love, attention and affection is essential . Every affective bond is fed through trust, daily care, attention and especially affection. Detach yourself from the judgmental eyes and always look like eyes of love.
The parents’ biggest mistake is to allow affective bonds to be shaken over the years . All the attention given in the baby’s phase is lost with the child’s growth. The place where the child’s safe haven should be, where trust was above all else, begins to be lost.
Usually in the adolescence phase , a complicated phase for any human being , parents tend to experience greater difficulty in their relationship with the young person, who in turn also distances himself. It seems that the emotional bonds are totally shaken in this phase and so important values of the family end up being lost at that moment, or at least it seems that they were lost.
That is why it is so important to always nurture these bonds, adjust mistakes and try to correct and align what is outside of what was normal in the family. The affective bonds over the years are strengthened through trust and presence, and it is necessary as any relationship to take care to maintain it.
Childhood Traumas
Childhood is filled with many changes and daily transitions and with them traumatic situations can occur that make marks for life. Situations within the family, an episode witnessed on the street, separation from parents, physical or verbal aggression and even violence of all kinds.
Childhood experiences are what will provide good stories, experiences and will shape what the child will be in the future. Everything that is experienced in childhood will actively contribute to the development of personality, which will determine important choices for life.
Childhood traumas can reach development and make profound marks on a child’s character, such as:
Low self-esteem
Trauma can directly affect the safety of the child’s personality. Low self-esteem problems are observed in children who have suffered childhood trauma.
