 \nIt was said at the beginning of the first chapter that what is believed tobe essential for mental health is that the infant and young child shouldexperience a warm,intimate,and continuous relationship with his mother(or mother-substitute),in which both find satisfaction and enjoyment.The child needs to feel he is an object of pleasure and pride to his mother;the mother needs to feel an expansion of her own personality in the per-sonality of her child:each needs to feel closely identified with the other.The mothering of a child is not something which can be arranged by roster;it is a live human relationship which alters the characters of both partners.The provision of a proper diet calls for more than calories and vitamins:we need to enjoy our food if it is to do us good.In the same way the pro-vision of mothering cannot be considered in terms of hours per day butonly in terms of the enjoyment of each other's company which mother andchild obtain.  \nSuch enjoyment and close identification of feeling is only possible foreither party if the relationship is continuous.Much emphasis has alreadybeen laid on the necessity of continuity for the growth of a child's per-sonality.It should be remembered,too,that continuity is necessary forthe growth of a mother.Just as the baby needs to feel that he belongs tohis mother,the mother needs to feel that she belongs to her child and it isonly when she has the satisfaction of this feeling that it is easy for her todevote herself to him.The provision of constant attention day and night,seven days a week and 365 in the year,is possible only for a woman whoderives profound satisfaction from seeing her child grow from babyhood,through the many phases of childhood,to become an independent manor woman,and knows that it is her care which has made this possible.  \nIt is for these reasons that the mother-love which a young child needsis so easily provided within the family,and is so very very difficult toprovide outside it.The services which mothers and fathers habituallyrender their children are so taken for granted that their magnitude is for-gotten.In no other relationship do human beings place themselves so  \nunreservedly and so continuously at the disposal of others.This holdstrue even of bad parents-a fact far too easily forgotten by their critics,especially critics who have never had the care of children of their own.It must never be forgotten that even the bad parent who neglects herchild is none the less providing much for him.Except in the worst cases,she is giving him food and shelter,comforting him in distress,teachinghim simple skills,and above all is providing him with that continuity ofhuman care on which his sense of security rests.He may be ill-fed and ill-sheltered,he may be very dirty and suffering from disease,he may be ill-treated,but,unless his parents have wholly rejected him,he is secure inthe knowledge that there is someone to whom he is of value and who willstrive,even though inadequately,to provide for him until such time as hecan fend for himself.  \nIt is against this background that the reason why children thrive betterin bad homes than in good institutions and why children with bad parentsare,apparently unreasonably,so attached to them can be understood.Those responsible for institutions have sometimes been resistant to acknow-ledging that children are often better off in even quite bad homes,whichis the conclusion of most experienced social workers with mental healthtraining and is borne out by the evidence of Simonsen and of Theis,alreadyquoted.Simonsen,130 it will be remembered,compared a group of childrenaged between one and four years who had spent their lives in ins","cbCaimKOVrdejTqO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimKOVrdejTqO","pdf",6646816,130,"English","# PREVENTION OF MATERNAL DEPRIVATION\n## CHAPTER 7 - THE PURPOSE OF THE FAMILY\n## Warm, intimate, continuous mother-child relationship\n## Continuity and the growth of mother and child\n## Family care versus institutional care","[{\"question\":\"Why does maternal deprivation in early years affect personality growth?\",\"answer\":\"The text states that deprivation in early years has an adverse effect on personality growth, challenging action to prevent it.
