Why mothers matter
May 1, 2013
By Ann Seacrest, RN, IBCLC, Executive Director, MilkWorks
How do we regain trust when bad things happen? How do we maintain compassion in the face of a horrible tragedy?
It may seem a stretch to connect infant nutrition with the maiming of innocent marathon runners and spectators. As I was glued to the coverage of the Boston bombings, I listened to an NPR report on the brain and the development of trust. Research has shown that when humans hold a glass of warm (versus cold) water, they are more trusting. Trust is crucial for the functioning of human societies. In order for us to live and work together in harmony, we must be able to trust each other.
