The Impact of a Mother's Voice on Daughters' Blood Pressure
Research suggests that when mothers speak to their daughters, whether through text or phone calls, it affects their blood pressure. The study indicates that daughters experience an increase in blood pressure when texted by their mothers, while hearing their mothers' voice over the phone leads to a decrease in blood pressure. The speaker personally applies this insight by regularly calling his sons to let them hear his voice and engage in brief conversations. The act of calling and speaking to children, even for a short period, serves as a way to establish a sense of presence and security, conveying the message that the parent is always available for support and comfort. By consistently reaching out and being present, parents can create a metaphorical 'home' for their children, where they feel loved, safe, and valued.
