Security

At this stage, the loving example set by the couple is essential for the child to develop the foundations of a balanced personality that allows them to find security and, later on, their own sense of self-worth.

When affection acts on the human being, it generates peace, inner security, self-worth, mental balance, the ability to integrate, enthusiasm, a desire to share, and a strengthening of friendship and other relationships, stimulating the development of feelings that can express love.

Displays of affection improve our self-esteem and inner security, as well as our enthusiasm and mental balance; that is why it is important to give and receive affection.
