Dedicated to my Mom

Getting a gentle touch from mother can be nearly as effective as a medicine after a tough event.According to research conducting in UK , the levels of a stress hormone , Cortisol , and oxytocin , among 61 young girls who had to make a presentation in public , the volunteers aged seven to 12 , were asked to do public speaking and then carry out an oral arithmatic test in front of people. Immediately after the event , a third of the girls comforted by their mother ; another third recieved the phone call from mom but did not see or touch them & remaining third recieved no support but wathed a neutral film for 75 min.. As expected , cortisol levels , measured in saliva soared as the youngsters became stressed by having to address the public.

Magic Touch: But amazingly after 30 minutes of the event , cortisol level returned to normal among children who experienced direct physical contact with their mother.
