Entry 2- Final





During my research I have found many studies that state that children with the absence of a mother's nurturing affection are drawn away from showing emotions throughout their life and in relationships based on the amount of nurturing that they were given as a child. These studies have been written about in two different scholarly journals and both conducted at two different Universities. In conclusion though, the outcomes were very much alike showing that indeed children that had a nurturing mother in their life while growing up were distinctly more in touch with their emotions then those who grew up with the absence of a nurturing mother. While studying the article “Mother’s Differential Parenting and Children’s Behavioral Outcomes: Exploring the Moderating Role of Family and social Context.” I definitely believe that the nurturing of parents has an effect on a child’s emotional status in the present and in the future. This has also impacted my views that I will share later in the blogs.



I am in agreement with this information because I feel that having the presence of a mother's nurturing in a child's life is vital  and I also feel that mothers can  provide a nurturing role that father's simply do not know how to show a child, therefore I believe that this research is accurate, although there are a few exceptions. I hope to find out more information to further my indication that this is indeed an issue that impacts many children as they grow up and to show mother's to think carefully about the decisions that they make with their children. I feel like this may not affect every child because some children do grow up with a lot of care but for those who do not it is worth researching. People always accuse teenagers and young children for making bad decisions but no one ever points fingers at the way they were nurtured and raised. I wonder how many juvenile children have been punished for bad choices made in their life’s that had everything to do with the effects of the way they were nurtured. I believe that this has a dramatic impact on the future choices that they make.



I feel like this information has a connection to things that I have seen in my own personal life. In my life as I have grown up I have realized that young men who have grown up with the presence of a nurturing mother tend to be more emotionally stable and they tend to be more affectionate in most cases but not all the time. Those who have grown up with the absence of a nurturing mother have been more prone to withhold their feelings and affections and to be scared of emotional, serious relationships. This is strictly a biased opinion because it is only from what I have seen in my own life, but if I could guess I would expect that most people would say that they have had similar experiences.
