Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to
brain development in the early years, and how these early
interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and
physical health. This second edition follows on from the success of
the first, updating the scientific research, covering recent
findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, and including a
new chapter highlighting our growing understanding of the part also
played by pregnancy in shaping a baby's future emotional and
physical well-being. The author focuses in particular on the
wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler's
developing nervous system. When things go wrong with relationships
in early life, the dependent child has to adapt; what we now know
is that his or her brain adapts too. The brain's emotion and immune
systems are particularly affected by early stress and can become
less effective. This makes the child more vulnerable to a range of
later difficulties such as depression, anti-social behaviour,
addictions or anorexia, as well as physical illness.
