One News Now: Researcher Promotes Old Idea - Motherhood

A writer and apologetics speaker is drawing attention to a researcher's new book that explores the vital role of motherhood in young children.

Erica Komisar, a veteran psychoanalyst and parent guidance expert, penned the book "Being There," which explains why a mother's emotional and physical presence is critical to a child's life, especially during the first three years of life. "The more time a woman can devote to the joy and job of mothering a child in the first three years," Komisar has said, "the better the chance her child will be emotionally secure and healthy throughout his life."

Komisar's book was noticed by Eric Metaxas, who discussed it in a Breakpoint.org radio commentary. Among other observations, he points out the author, who is not a conservative but a liberal feminist, builds her case after 27 years of research and experience.

The Breakpoint commentary, which can be read and heard here, further points out that children are at a higher risk for emotional problems - Komisar documents the worrisome statistics - if they lack a mother's presence during tearly years or development.

"And now you know why the heads of feminists and liberals are exploding," Metaxas observes in his commentary.

"This research should stop people and make people see that you can never get around truth," Metaxas, an apologetics speaker who is likely most known for his biographies of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and William Wilberforce, tells OneNewsNow.

The current culture and "social engineering," he adds, have created a different impression of motherhood.

"But in the end," Metaxas continues, "it always comes back to the basics: that you can't get away from the idea that a child needs a mother, and especially that a mother in the first three years, as this research has shown, that makes a huge difference."
