Women always want men to understand and cater to their needs and desires without expressing them. They should understand that men have no extra sensory perceptions but are mere humans.
Men complain women for speaking too much about petty things. That's how they function. Only when she lets out, she feels relieved. Men should increase their capacity to listen to women, though they keep repeating the same. Women feel better if men listen to them without getting frustrated. Men usually sit alone silently to deal with their problems. Women misunderstand this and urge men to share their confusions as they do. This causes the man to yell on her. She now doesn't know the reason for his anger, because, from her point, she has only offered him help. Women should know that, men function so, and leave them alone at those times. Men hate it when women give them ideas to improve. According to them, they are perfect and only broken things need improvement. So, when a women says him tips to improve, he assumes that his woman thinks that he's completely futile. Women should stop advising men, and start encouraging them for smaller things they do. If a couple travel, and the husband drives, and is confused with the path, and ends up choosing the wrong one, inspite of his wife's advise to use Google maps, and reaches the destination later than needed, his wife should not shout at him, though he's wrong. Instead, she could thank him for the quality time he gifted her, that they spent alone, after years. Men do not know what really a woman needs. They wrongly assume that their women will feel happy if they buy them their favourite sarees or ornaments. Yes, they like them. But those sarees and accessories are not their atmost happiness. They want acts of love, care and words of affection far more than those sarees. Again, men pre assume that acts of love include buying the costliest kurti in the shop. Not again! They may love a cheaper kurti, but if men buy them, even without his woman expressing it, she loves it, because, women love when men fulfill their desires without expressing them. Men should develop their understanding of women's desires. Women feel neglected when men do not appreciate their outfits. Men usually do not concentrate on making up themselves, but for women, they are delicate and so they keep making up with different techniques, longing for a word of appreciation from their Men should increase their capacity to, first notice the difference in their women today and yesterday, and then appreciate his woman's beauty. Men develop ego and anger when his woman compares his valour with that of another man, be it her father or her brother. Women should start appreciating men's small acts of bravery. Men and women have separate vocabularies and dictionaries. When a woman says, "The house is always dirty and I'm tired" , she actually wants her man to assist her in cleaning the house. But, what a man understands is, "You always make the home dirty and I'm tired of clearing the mess you created". Both should develop a clear understanding of each other's vocabularies. Relationship myths are endless and sometimes comical. If a man, touches a woman emotionally, he gets access to touch her physically. A story will help understanding this. A couple got married, both were strangers. Both were very shy that they didn't touch each other even after weeks of being together. Every day, while returning home, the man would buy her jasmine, which she loves and adorns her hair with. One day she got her menses and called him over the phone, and asked him not to buy jasmine (bleeding women, should not wear jasmines), in a gloomy voice. Understanding her inconvenience, he came home earlier. She was lying tired on the bed. He put down everything and came to her, sat silently by her side and adorned her lock with the Roses he bought, which said her softly said that, "I'm there for you". She was touched. Then he pressed her arms and feet with love and atmost affection. She was shy but she could not stop him, because she loved his warmth. Thus, they lived happily thereafter. Dear men! Please learn the art of touching without your fingers. Boost your immunity with your thoughts !  Physical exercises

PLEASE FIND “ATTACHED”- THROUGH THE CHILD’S PERSPECTIVE  Humans have an innate tendency to bond with people. Be it our friendships, relationships with partners, formations of relations mainly revolves around the attachment that we form. It all starts from the childhood. Attachment is a deep enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space (Ainsworth, 1973; Bowlby,1969). Various theorists have looked into attachment and formed their own theories. However, this article will look into foundational theories that were given by Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby.
JOHN BOWLBY Edward John Mostyn Bowlby, simply known as John Bowlby, was a British psychologist, psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst who is known to be the father of Attachment theory. He was primarily influenced by the School of Cybernetics which is basically a school of communication. According to him, the basic nature of attachment focuses on 3 things in infants:
This system manifests in 3 ways: 1)Seeking, monitoring and trying to maintain proximity to the attachment figure: This happens in the form of clinging, crying, calling, crawling to the attachment figure in order to establish security. 2)Using attachment figure as a secure base: Here the attachment figure provides an environment of protection and security so that the child feels safe enough to explore the environment effectively. This is called secure base. If the parents or attachment figure fail to establish the secure base, the exploration ceases. 3)Seeking attachment figure as a safe haven during moments of danger or harm: External threats or separation from attachment figure (usually mother) can trigger anxiety and proximity seeking behaviour. Thus the availability of the caregiver is not just for physical proximity but also for seeking comfort from the caregiver. This availability is defined in terms of how the child appraises it. His work was mainly focused on delinquent homeless children the initial reaction for any traumatic reaction was protest, despair and detachment. MARY AINSWORTH Like Bowlby was the father of attachment theory, well Mary Ainsworth can be called the mother, because psychology is gender neutral, right? Okay! Jokes apart. According to her, parent child interactions are likely to produce secure attachment or varieties of insecure attachment. This security is determined by the communication between caregiver and the child. She conducted a research where she created a make belief situation, where there was a stranger, the mother and the child. This research is also called strange situation experiment. The child was there with mother in a room playing with toys. Suddenly the mother was told to go away and buy groceries.. just kidding.. no just sent out and the stranger was told to go in. The child was left alone with the stranger. Now obviously the child would start crying. The mother came back and stranger went, again mother went and stranger came and so on and so forth. According to her, one thing that was significant was the reaction of the child when he sees the mother back and that determined the kind of attachment style both engaged in. Now they are of 2 types:
Passive Children tend to faint or are too afraid to approach their mother directly. But this reunion neither relieved the distress about exploring freely nor their preoccupation with their mother’s whereabouts. Mary Main described another form of attachment style which is called Disorganised or disoriented pattern. These responses were bizarre and contradictory. She observed that upon reunion, they froze in a place or collapsed on the floor. It is different from ambivalent style as the responses are uncanny and bizarre. It also shows up when the parental figure appears frightened as well as frightening to the child. Secure attachment boosts self-esteem, greater competence and greater resilience and concentration. However, Insecure attachment leads to development of disorders which mainly include personality disorders later in the adulthood. Hence it is highly important have a check into the kind of bond that you form with your child. Integrating Bowlby and Ainsworth’s theories, ideally, we all should be able to foster secure attachment with our children so that he/she gets proper environment for exploration. Too much protection will not even allow the child to explore the environment and will impede the development of the child. Lack of secure environment will not allow the child to have a protected environment and the child might engage in further risk taking behaviours. This can be further be studied along with parenting styles. References VanDijken, S. (1998). John Bowlby: His Early Life: A Biographical Journey into the Roots of Attachment Theory.
