Antibodies are blood proteins made in response to germs or other foreign substances that enter the body. Antibodies help the body fight illness and disease by attaching to germs and marking them for destruction. The gastrointestinal system is made up of the stomach and the small and large intestines. It breaks down and absorbs food. The respiratory system includes the nose, throat, voice box, windpipe, and lungs. Air is breathed in, delivering oxygen. Waste gas is removed from the lungs when you breathe out. 2U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (2011).

  • Special Feature
    special feature ur world is becoming increasingly violent. Social and political initiatives everywhere are seeking to counteract escalating trends of suicide, aggres- sion, crime, destruction of the environment and ultimately, war. Groundbreaking research has uncovered the source of why we as a species are either brutal and fearful, or peaceful and loving. This research produced the term SomatoSensory Affectional Deprivation Syndrome (SSADS), which describes a complex pattern of depression, violence, and fear created within the brain from the lack of affectional bonding between infant and mother and deprivation of bodily pleasure. Prams, cots, bottlefeeding, circumcision, medicalised births, early day care and sexual repression are just a few of the cul- turally supported facets of separation that contribute to vary- ing degrees of failed bonding, leading ultimately to the explod- ing rates of depression, violence, suicide and sexual abuse in Western countries today. Until the source is acknowledged, initiatives towards peace and justice are rendered fruitless, as world history affirms.

Prescott, Ph.D. Institute of Humanistic Science The greatest terror a child can have is that he is not loved, and rejection is the hell he fears. I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt — and there is the story of mankind.

I chose this topic for analysis for personal reasons. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in studying child psychology, parenting, and the mother-infant relationship, and cared for babies and young children as a nanny, and in childcare centers and parent-child classes. As a nanny, I cared for a 6-month-old baby whose mother was struggling with post- partum depression, social isolation, lack of emotional and practical support, a childhood history of abuse, and a fear that her baby didn‘t love her and wasn‘t ‗attached‘ to her. As a nanny I also cared for three young children of a mother who practiced attachment parenting – it was the first time that I had encountered Babywearing, co-sleeping, and extended on-demand breastfeeding, and I was intrigued.
