最新の発達心理学は、ヒトの子どもが人生の早期の段階から周囲との交流を行い、その影響を受けていることを明らかにしています。
「まなざしを注ぐ。声をかける。だきしめる。」
こうした行為が子どもの心身の健やかな発達に不可欠であり、周囲のレスポンスによって反応することがわかってきました。とくに子どもが発信するSOSに適切に応答することは、子どもが内面に他者と自己への基本的信頼感を形成する基礎になるだけに、欠くことはできません。虐待は子どもを殴る・蹴るといったことだけにとどまらず、広義にはこうした応答を欠いた環境をも指します。「だきしめる」行為は、人間の発達にとって基本的ではあり、かつ根源的な営みですね。
Dr. Takanori Doi: In recent Developmental Psychology, it is elucidated that children of human beings begin to exchange communication with their surroundings in much
earlier life stages, by which they are influenced.....To keep kind eyes on them, or whisper to them, or hug/cuddle them up...These acts were now found to be inevitable for the formation of
child's sound body/mind, and they react upon how their surroundings actually respond to them. Replying properly to the sign of children's SOS shown from them is especially
indispensable as it may eventually form a foundation of their cardinal trust between themselves and others(adults) in mental aspect. When it comes to abuses, we usually
talk about beating and/or kicking children physically, but lack of our proper responses to the children in such circumstances may also be connoted as abuses as well
in broader meanings. I here believe "hugging "(cuddling or dacconizing) is an act/conduct which is fundamental and essential for development of the human character.
プロフェッショナルコメント②井上祐紀先生(児童精神科医、医学博士)
わたくし自身、男の子の双子の父親として育児をするなかでも感じたことですが、赤ちゃんが泣いたときには、泣き止ませるよりも、泣いている子どもたちの気持ちを想像して、「さみしかったねー」「おなかがすいたねー」などと言葉に返していくほうが親子ともに穏やかな気分になれるようでした。そして徐々に、「うれしいなー」「おいしいなー」と良い気分の内容も赤ちゃんに返していきました。赤ちゃんにとっては、自分自身が体験している感情の動きに大人が沿ってくれることがとても大切な意味を持つようです。言葉や情緒の発達を促すだけでなく、世話をしてくれる方を「自分の気持ちをシェアできる人」として認知し、大人との信頼関係作りの基礎を養い始めるという重要な心の動きに関わって行くのでしょう。
Dr. Yuki Inoue: Let me talk about my own experience as myself a father to my twins when I brought them up. During my child-realing processes, when the babies cried,
rather than trying to stop them cry, it seemed to me both parents and children can become more calmly and peacefully satisfied by tossing some endearing remarks to the children such as
"Weren't you sad, sweatie? " or "Aren't you hungry, are you?" ....in an effort to sound out how they truly feel. Further, I gradually tried to feed back to them with my words of delightfulness
whispering like "I'm happy..." or "It's delicious.... For babies, it seems to be very meaningful to grasp if adults are going along with the flow of their emotion by which they are experiencing
many things. It accelerates not only the development of their words and emotion, but it also starts to nurture the foundation of trust over adults... that would link to an important mental
nourishment in future. Babies recognize adults who take care of them as the trusted ones, with whom they can share the feeling together.
