PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF Relationships IN THE "MOTHER-CHILD" SYSTEM. WHEN AND WHAT DO THEY BEGIN WITH?
It is known that the way parents treat a young child and how parents are sensitive to their child's needs affect child development. The attitude of a mother to her child starts to form during pregnancy and depends on many factors. In this study we determined whether such factors as the course of the pregnancy and birth, the staff attitude towards woman during delivery care and social factors influence her. We used a questionnaire, that included questions about these factors and mother's affection to her child. After that we determined the correlations between the acquired data. It was discovered that the staff attitude towards the woman during delivery care, the overall impression of pregnancy and birth, the woman's age, the feelings she experienced when she saw her child for the first time, her educational level have the greatest influence on the attitude of a mother to her child.
