Bonding

  1. In psychology, the development of close selective relationships, for example, attachment. Mother-child bonding involves close physical contact between mother and child in the first hours of the child's life. This connection helps to strengthen maternal love for the child and the development of the need to take care of him.

  2. In dentistry - fastening dental fillings, coatings and onlays. Fixation can be mechanical (see Acid etching technique) or chemical, using adhesive filling cement.



Fixing is the process of securing something to the surface of another object to ensure its stability and prevent it from moving. In psychology, the term “fixation” is used to describe the development of close selective relationships between people, such as mother-child attachment. The connection between them involves physical contact and serves to strengthen maternal love and the need to care for the child. In dentistry, the term “fixation” is also used, but in the context of attaching dental fillings and coatings. Fixation can be achieved using a mechanical technique, which includes acid etching, or chemical cementation using adhesive filling cement. Both methods ensure reliable fastening of the filling to the tooth surface and prevent its displacement.



Fixation in dentistry and psychology are two different but related concepts that help to understand how mother and child are connected throughout life and how they influence each other's health. In the first year of life, babies associate their well-being with the relationships they have with the main people in their lives: mom and dad. Psychological fixation is laid down from birth to the end of childhood and has a long-term impact on a person’s personality and on his interpersonal relationships. Knowing about fixation can help therapists better understand parents' and children's emotions, as well as how communication can impact the psychological health of everyone involved.

Mother-child fixation can manifest itself already in the womb. It is worth noting that maternal love begins during pregnancy. Young children tend to look at their mother with delight and even smile at her. Therefore, we are talking about the emotional connection between the expectant mother and her conception. Parents who do not want to maintain or strengthen this connection (that is, do not love the unborn child) can harm the health of their child and his ability to grow into a full-fledged baby. When a baby is born, he establishes contact with his mother, and then through her with the world. A mother becomes attached to her baby while still in the womb, and this bond grows stronger as the baby develops. Recent research suggests that women report less feelings of isolation during childbirth if they have a committed relationship with their baby. The feeling of security and peace also means that the mother had a committed relationship during pregnancy. Unconsciously, mothers with a fixed relationship with their children are in the mood to care about everything that happens to their child - even if the parents do not know what exactly they can help with. They help even when the child does not ask for it. These caring moms remain your best friends after childbirth and other emotional and physical challenges. An example of specific actions of mother-child communication can be the temporary influence of their physiogenic parameters at the brain level. During sleep, the baby develops strong connections between sensory areas of the brain, such as visual and tactile. The positive properties of these connections create and enhance an empathic, trusting and controlling connection with the outside world. When the child grows up and becomes a father, this connectedness and control will produce prosocial behavior. If a mother has a fixed connection with her child, then communicating
