According to recent research from the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology at UCLA, a lack of parental affection during early childhood can cause cardiovascular ailments, metabolic syndromes and other health related problems.
Teresa Seeman, professor of medicine and the paper’s senior author, said about the study: “Our findings highlight the extent to which these early childhood experiences are associated with evidence of increased biological risks across nearly all of the body’s major regulatory systems”.
A reason good enough to be extremely loving and caring with our young children.
