Childhood is that base on which the entire building called “life”
stands. It is flexible. Whatever you inculcate in the mind of a child is there
to stay for a long, long time, unless of course the child changes things for
himself as he grows old through sense experience.
Every little thing in one’s childhood has a role to play in
the future; interests, hobbies, dreams, fears, beliefs and health issues. Recent studies have suggested that stress in
childhood, be it in the form of a tragic event or neglect by parents can make a
severe damage on the child’s future, by harnessing his immune system, making
him more prone to skin cancer.

This study was conducted by the scientists of Ohio State
University Wexner Medical Center, and involved the study of Basal Cell
Carcinoma (BCC), which is a type of skin cancer tumor. It is generally
considered to be nothing severe and is not malignant as scientists suggest that
one’s immune system is capable enough to fight against such cancer types.
However, things are way too different if your body’s immune system is weakened
due to early exposure to stress and mental turbulences.
The studies also suggested that early life stress can not
only trigger skin cancer in an individual’s later life, but also cause ovarian
cancer—as it too is a result of immunogenic tumors.
It is thus very crucial for parents to prevent their
children from being exposed to any form of stress and give them a happy and
healthy childhood that they will fondly recall as they grow old. Spend as much
time with your children as possible and always make them talk to you. Your
child might be an introvert, but it is your responsibility to convince him that
he can open up to you without any hesitation.
As it is rightly said, happiness is the key to solve every
problem.
