Why Children, Can’t Afford anymore Medical, Parental, Societal Blindness   Birth Trauma: The Silent Crisis Every year, thousands of families silently carry the weight of birth trauma. For too long, a mother’s influences have been dismissed as “baby blues” or “just hormones.” But the truth is clear: ignoring birth trauma comes with staggering health costs for parents, for children and society. I wrote about this crisis in my women’s and children’s health book ‘Pregnancy & Birt

The contact between mother and child should not be interrupted immediately after birth.  Those few moments (30-60minutes) are very important. The first 15 minutes, when oxytocin is apparent and the love hormone is being released, are critical for bonding and recognition.    Many trials have shown the benefits of a baby being left with mum to bond after birth.

My own professional anidotal and personal experience has accumulated great insights on this matter and unfortunately the daily risks continue, globally, some fifty years on from when my son experienced a fast birth and suffered birth trauma!

At JWT we find it incredible that children are full of anxiety today with no clear view as to ‘Why’ anxiety is growing so rapidly?   Covid and isolation have been branded as the cause, however anxiety was underlying well before Covid. And has escalated over several decades. Not just children adults too, carry the anxiety trait. Once we have underlying anxiety, it will continue to taint life until core emotional drive is found, dissolved and resolved.   August 2024 data stated
