Are children born a certain way, or do the parents have tremendous influence?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Well believe it or not a mother’s actions while she’s pregnant can affect the baby. I’m not just talking about the obvious physical outcomes, but any stress she experiences so does the baby. A baby’s first learning experience is in the womb. So if a mother is constantly stressed out the baby will be a more anxious child. I forget what type of memory this is called, but it has to do with memories that are ingrained in us but we can’t remember them if that makes sense. Things that helped shape us before we even had the capacity to be able to recall them. In two separate documentaries I heard about the same case of this. It had to do with a famine in Denmark I believe. All the women that were pregnant at the time gave birth to babies that ended up being born with high blood pressure due to the constant stress and as adults all of them had weight issues because they were making up for the lack of food they received during the pregnancy. Yes, they actually tracked down all the adults born during that time. There is also the case of the great depression and the pregnancies during that time as well. Pretty much the same outcome. Kind of scary that babies get influenced that early on by what we do. All in all, be really n ice to pregnant chicks. As for outside of the womb, there is no just nature or just nurture it’s a mix of both. Here is one of the documentaries I saw that went through what I mentioned above. Moving Forward
