Importance of Happiness during Pregnancy

  Importance of Happiness during Pregnancy -                     Stress in Pregnancy takes a toll on the Child A successful pregnancy and labour, and the birth of a healthy baby, are the responsibilities of both the parents to an equal degree. A baby’s health depends to a large extent on the health of its parents at the moment of conception, their lifestyle before conception as well as mental wellbeing of parents. Starting a family is a time of reassessment because becoming a parent will fundamentally change your life.

Children cannot understand why everyone around  is always wearing a  mask?   Why   they are not getting admired ??   why parents are so stressed , why they are not allowed to go out of the house? and  much  more. These are few unanswered questions that are constantly running inside their young minds. We  are all very concerned about our own issues, But believe me as a senior occupational Therapist – When a parent approached me  who was very tensed and helpless and narrated a story, I was shocked. Eight year old constantly threatening them that she/he is going to run away from the house or  will jump from the window or  will cut her/his hand  If they don't  take her /him out. Any kind of outburst  would errupt whenever her/his  wis
