Treating Pediatric Asthma through Bonding Therapy

Main Article Content

Antonio Madrid*

Abstract

Pediatric asthma affects more children than any other childhood disease. Causes have been linked to many factors, most noticeably maternal issues. Yatsenko, et al. 2016 [1] claim that bonding disruptions are at the heart of the majority of maternal factors.


Bonding disruptions were identified by Marshall Klaus and John Kennel, fitting into two primary categories: separation at birth and maternal distress. When either of these factors is present, a mother usually will not bond with her baby.
