1. How affection increases brain power for your child
The moment any parent see their little baby or that small toddler face smiling at them, all anxieties drop
and immediately their face breaks into a smile. Their child also embraces that reaction and immediately
wants their parent to hug them, or pick them up or kiss them. This inter-play of affection is one of the
key findings of research conducted at Baby Bliss and supported by Berkeley Institute of Learning & the
Brain and Harvard Center for Developing Child.

The human touch is always known to have healing powers. It is one of the most remarkable tools to
relieve immediate stress. The moment, a parent affectionately hugs their child, the level of calm that
embraces the child is unbelievable. In a very simplistic form, this releases any tension build up for the
child in its mind and the blood flow increases in the body.
The child begins to breathe easy, and is able to focus its energies in other important tasks such as
studying, playing and relaxing. One of the most important piece of guidance encouraged to parents is to
increase the level of affection shown to your children. This enables your child to also develop skills of
empathy, kindness and helpfulness.
