Subject: Bonding

I don't know how I missed this assignment, but in any case I think bonding between a mother and infant is important. I also think bonding between a father and an infant is equally as important. Fathers can't bond with the infant while it is in the mother's womb but after birth fathers can do just as much as mothers. My husband is a wonderful father and as a result of his attentiveness to my younger son, they share a closer bond than I share with my son. Ty prefers to hang with his dad and always has. He tells me we are best friends (even today) but I know he really is closer to my husband and that's okay. Children need to know they have someone to go to no matter what and as long as it is a parent I think that's great. I have a closer relationship with my oldest son (Tre) but our relationship started out differently. I wasn't married then so therefore I was all he had. To date his preference is to hang out with me. To tell the truth, he prefers to hang with his friends, but I run a close second. Bonding is important because all children should feel loved and experience life with at least one person they can always count on and feel comfortable sharing things with. One thing we all need to remember is that if our children aren't talking to and sharing things with us, they are with someone else. I want it to be me or my husand.
