Psychological research: Children who still stay close to their mothers when they grow up are often due to their mothers doing these three things right

Is it really just because 'mother son bond' that children still love to cling to their mothers when they grow up? psychological research has found that those who remain close to their mothers as adults Families with close relationships often hide unknown wisdom in their interactions. Come and see if your family has also achieved these points?

1. A emotionally stable mother is a forever safe haven for children

1. The brain remembers a sense of security

When a mother can stably catch a child's emotional breakdown, the child's brain forms a "safe base" memory. This sense of security will continue into adulthood, and when faced with difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is still my mother.

2. Do not transmit anxiety to children

Research has found that the way mothers handle stress directly affects their children's emotional regulation ability. Mothers who remain calm in the face of adversity often cultivate children with stronger psychological resilience.

3. Allow children to have negative emotions.

Instead of saying "What's there to cry about?", ask "Do you need a mom's hug. The emotional experience of being accepted will become the motivation for children to actively express themselves in the future.

2. Mothers who know how to let go actually gain more dependence

1. Starting from the age of 3, giving children the right to choose

from "which pair of socks to wear today" to "where they want to play on weekends", gradually empowering children to experience a sense of autonomy. Such children are more willing to share their lives with their mothers when they grow up.

2. Inappropriate "supervision" during adolescence

Do not excessively inquire about the details of making friends, and do not interfere with decisions "for your own good". Children who keep moderate space tend to actively seek advice from their mothers when needed.

3. Maintain a sense of boundaries as an adult

Do not organize your children's rental housing without authorization and do not interfere with parenting methods. A mother who respects boundaries often receives more advice and discussion from her children.

3. Chatting moms never lack listeners

1. No need for "exam style questions"

Replace "what did you learn today" with "which dish in the cafeteria is the worst", and small talk style conversations can open up more conversation. A survey by Columbia University shows that 85% of teenagers are more willing to answer their mothers' daily chat phone calls.

2. Share your own embarrassing stories

Occasionally talking about your work mistakes, children will feel that their mother is no longer a "superior adult", but a friend who can communicate equally.

3. Remember the child's "nonsense"

When the child suddenly says "Do you remember my elementary school desk mate?", the mother who can answer the conversation instantly wins trust. These memory fragments are the golden thread of parent-child relationship. In fact, children are willing to stick to their mothers when they grow up, not because their mothers are perfect, but because they can be their true selves in front of them. The moments of being treated gently, the choices that are respected, and the nonsense that is carefully listened to have all become the most precious parent-child codes in time. Try to be the mother of that 80 year old child who still wants to take a walk arm in arm from today on!
