Question

What maternal behavior during pregnancy was related to behavior problems in adolescence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Maternal behavior like non communication with the baby, non affective bond and problems with acceptance the pregnancy could be factors that trigger disorders in the child in the future, like personality issues, mental disorders and socialize problems.

Explanation:

    The affective relationship with the unborn baby is fundamental for the formation and strengthening of the maternal bond. Studies show that the first six years are decisive in one's life, especially due to brain development. The formation of the baby, however, has begun before its birth.  The recognition that all the baby's senses already work even before birth has been scientifically proven. The way the mother reacts to pregnancy and how does she deal with the baby during pregnancy is fundamental to the child's formation, which will impact in adolescence. Therefore, communication with the baby is very important.

   Depressed maternal behavior, like unable to communicate with her baby may have negative surprises in the future. The absence of this bridge with the child will make bond formation difficult. Consequently, the baby will have a compromised formation without attachment, and may develop personality issues, neuroses, psychoses and problems in socialize in the future (adolescence or adult life).
