maternal depression to children’s mental and physical illness as well as language and cognitive deficits
shown that when the parents’ marriage is riven by conflict children grow up to be emotionally insecure and have difficulty forming loving adult relationships
nd found that when parents are under significant stress their kids are more likely to have behavior problems, to have difficulty handling stress, and to be at greater risk for mental illness
when parents are under emotional, financial, or other forms of stress, it can alter their children’s patterns of genetic activity at least through adolescence and perhaps longe
And since some of the altered genes shape brain development, the effects of parental stress might permanently wire themselves into children’s brain
Child abuse and even maternal depression, studies show, can do to people what neglectful rat mothers did to their pups: silence the stress-hormone receptor in the brain. In the brains of people who were abused as children and later took their own lives, the gene for the stress-hormone receptor is more likely to be “off” than it is in people who did not commit suicide or were not abused, found a 2009 study.
they found that mom’s high stress during the children’s infancy altered 139 genes, while dad’s stress during the children’s pre-school years altered 31 genes.
although mothers’ stress affected both daughters and sons equally, fathers’ stress had more effect on daughters than sons.
when dad is emotionally or physically absent, girls tend to enter puberty earlier and develop difficult temperaments
This article presents the belief that the stressful state of parents can alter their children's DNA. Emotional stress in the home can be devastating for children and have long and lasting effects. This applies to my section on divorce and possibly home environment and exposure.
I chose going to a thrift store as something to do in the city that would bring me the most enjoyment because my husband and I often go to thrift stores and antique stores to wander and simply lose ourselves together in the things of the past and things of the broken, unwanted, and unused present. I find more treasure in a thrift store that appeals to my heart than I could ever find at the mall.

Preterm birth is on the rise causing neonatal mortality and is a major determinant of early childhood mortality and morbidity in the United States. Numerous preterm infants suffer from neurological disability including cerebral palsy; visual and hearing impairments; learning difficulties; and, psychological, behavioral, and social problems. This increasing incidence of prematurity, prevalence of significant morbidity, and burden to society, both personal and cost-related, make it imperative to identify developmental care strategies such as music that might reduce this burden .
This study integrates the work of music therapy, neuroscience, audiology, and medicine with nursing to address the uncertainty regarding the effect of music as a holistic health patterning modality and discover if preterm infant physiological and neurobehavioral state responses to music and ambient noise are different. The goal of this study was to establish a foundation for further research related to the use of music with preterm infants and to address the issue of safety in providing music as a health patterning modality for this population.
Forty-one clinically stable, non-ventilated, appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) preterm infants from 32 to 35 weeks gestation in a large, urban Midwest Children's Hospital NICU were included in this study. An interrupted time-series design with repeated measures was used to explore the health patterning responses of preterm infants to an intentionally designed music intervention of recorded piano music. The effect of the music was measured every 30-seconds before, during, and after the sound condition of music or ambient noise by observi
