Children who have a poor emotional relationship with their mother are more than twice as likely to become obese, research claims.
A study found toddlers who struggle with their mothers are at higher risk of being grossly overweight by the time they are 15.
Those who had the worst emotional relationship were almost two-and-half times more likely to be obese at 15 than those with a strong bond.
Meanwhile, only 13 per cent who had close bonds in their formative years became obese.
U.S. researchers studied nearly 1,000 toddlers and their mothers at play then rated how strong the bond was between mother and child.
The participants were then assessed for obesity at 15.
The prevalence of obesity in adolescence was 26.1 per cent among children with the poorest early maternal-child relationships according to the research, which will appear in the online Journal of Paediatrics next month.
Ohio State University epidemiology professor Sarah Anderson said eating comfort food throughout childhood could be linked to youngsters not being given the right tools to deal with stress.
She said: ‘It is possible childhood obesity could be influenced by interventions that try to improve the emotional bonds between mothers and children rather than focusing only on children’s food intake and activity.
‘We need to think about how we can support better-quality maternal-child relationships because that could have an impact on child health.

Thanks, Mom! And for teaching me to read before I attended school!
Moms are so cool.

Then I should weigh about 900 lbs.
That explains it.
I know what you are thinking.
Mooooo-chelle must have REALLY hated her mother.
Mom and I had our ups and downs. And so does my weight! LOL!
WELL, I never hated my mom and I am not fat. Actually, Attachment Theory predicts whether or not people will have successful relationships, or not. It is very accurate. There is a lot correct about early childhood development—and how it forms human beings and determines worldview.
It is why Lenin invented Day Cares-—for 9 month olds. To destroy that natural bond between a mother and child that is so crucial for emotionally healthy, independent adults. It is why zero wants homosexuality taught to 5 year olds—it will fundamentally corrupt them and their sexual/moral formation. Sex will be taught as an activity devoid of morality and it will become their worldview—Read the Brave New World to see how these children who are sexualized act.
Mother/child relationship is crucial, but so is father/child relationship in the toddler-young child. Miss out on the biologically natural modeling and interaction which is necessary for healthy future relationships—of parents and children and you end up with Charles Manson who never knew his father and his mother was a 16 year old prostitute who never cared for her own child.
All the men in prison and gangs had no fathers or abusive ones. The cultural Marxists knew to destroy America—you destroy the natural family. You destroy Christian Ethics—that which created strong caring families. Feminist and homosexual movements were founded by Communists to destroy the Natural Family, marriage, Christianity and the Patriarchy. Destroy America from within—destroy all its institutions—particularly marriage with no fault divorce and glorify behaviors to destroy all relationships.
Non virtuous cultures are reduced to chaos and tyranny. They need masters.
Spoiled children are used to getting what they want..
They many times become spoiled adults..
And some poor soul marrys them.. before the divorce..
“All men in prison and gangs had no fathers or abusive ones” You are far too extreme. There certainly are people in prison who had very loving fathers and mothers, i’ve known several.
You are far too extreme.. and your soapbox is very large.
Not really—I worked with children for 30 years and majored in Child Psychology—I know how children learn and what affects their thinking.....You should read Theodore Dalrymple who is the psychiatrist that worked in England for decades. His books outline the demise of English culture-—the natural family destruction—is all it is——unwed mothers-—abused children by boyfriends—abandoned and abused kids by “fathers”.

It is no secret that healthy mother/father relationships are modeled by kids. Early childhood forms worldview in first 7 years-—it is why sesame st. made the muppets quit hitting each other when it first came out-—all kids watching the show began hitting their siblings and friends.
Cher should be in prison for allowing a lesbian to molest her daughter when she was 11 years old. That sick lesbian should be in prison also for the abuse and destruction of the welfare and happiness of Chastity who had a lousy mother.
Homosexuality is learned—people need to understand that because the schools are indoctrinating children into that unnatural lifestyle as I speak—trying to recreate Ancient Greece-—or modern day Afghanistan which allows their boys to be sodomized. They grow up to be (surprise) homosexual and can’t wait to sodomize boys.....BTW—homosexual cultures hate women. Women end up banding together in abnormal ways. Very SICK cultures-—infanticide is practiced in all homosexual cultures and slavery.
There are horrible people in both heterosexual and homosexual cultures. For every Jesse Dirkhising or Jeffrey Dahmer case you could give me, I could probably give you a Ted Bundy or Green River Killer.
Nope-—homosexuals habitually demean their bodies and that of other people in unnatural, destructive ways. Heterosexuals do not abuse their bodies unnaturally—unless they rape, etc.. Homosexuals are many times more promiscuous and abuse children at much higher rates than heterosexuals. For every 8 girls molested—homosexual will do the Sandusky to 128 boys. Pederasty is common in homosexual literature and societies because usually homosexuality is learned through sexual abuse of children. Most homosexuals are physically abused as children and ALL of them are emotionally abused. It is why homosexual promotion should be considered child abuse.
Aristotle wrote about habituation of Virtue-—you can not be courageous if you don’t practice it and it becomes habitual. All Virtue is habituated. All evil behavior is habituated. Sodomy is evil. It makes it easier for homosexuals to demean other human beings and treat them like the homosexual SS Brownshirts. Hitler was a sexual deviate (Hidden Hitler). The top serial killers were homosexual. Charles Manson was sodomized as a boy—as was Gacy. The defilement of their bodies created great self-hatred and anger.
Muslims are sodomites. That is why it is easy for them to be so inhumane to their women and enemies.
So how many mothers did Michael Moore have anyway?
BTW, Ted Bundy was a sexual deviant also. He was “threatened by women”.

All these sick people were abused in early childhood. All of these sick people abused animals. Most of these sick people were sexually molested as children—and those that weren’t—were emotionally belittled and their dignity and worth crushed in childhood.
It is no accident that people learn to be monsters. Children model their behavior after the “important” adults in their lives.
Promoting unnatural acts such as homosexuality to young children is child abuse. Jerry Brown should be put in prison for allowing a pedophile Milk to be glorified in schools. It is really putting sick, unnatural ideas into the heads of impressible children. SICK—just like the culture in Afghanistan allowing boys to be sodomized for the recreation of the men. Brown is just as evil.
It is why that 4 year old boy, Tyler, tried to cut off his penis—the boy being raised in that sick artificial environment of two lesbians. He doesn’t have a male role model. All kids have to have a mother and father to observe and model themselves after so they can deal with all people in the world and understand what is expected in the real world—they can make sense of the world-—it shapes their reality. They have good rapport with their dad, they will love being male. If their own father rejects them or abuses them—they will reject being male—have a self-hatred. (I am simplifying but you get the point.....it is not rocket science here—been known since before Freud—but especially after psycho-analysis.)
Now that boy is forced on toxins to block his natural maturation—it is evil and those lesbians should be in prison. Just like the lesbian who was allowed to rape Chastity Bono—Cher should be in prison and so should that lesbian who was allowed to babysit Chastity at 11 years of age. Very SICK mentally ill people.
