How does IVF affect parent-child relationship?



introduction

As an important method of assisted reproductive technology, IVF has been widely used worldwide. However, the emergence of IVF has also triggered a series of disputes and discussions. A key issue is the impact of IVF on parent-child relationship. Parent-child relationship is one of the basic relationships in human society, which has an important impact on the development and growth of individuals. This article will discuss the influence of IVF on parent-child relationship from four aspects: psychology, biology, society and emotion.

Psychological level: parenting tendency and parent-child attachment

The birth mode of IVF may have an impact on parental rearing tendency. The study found that the parents of IVF babies tend to overprotect and coddle in their rearing methods, which may be related to their increased expectations and attention to babies. In addition, parent-child attachment between IVF infants and their parents was also affected. Some studies have found that the attachment relationship between IVF infants and their parents is relatively weak, which may be related to biological differences, psychological pressure, social environment and other factors. However, it is worth mentioning that the psychological impact is not static. As parents gradually adapt to the IVF mode, their parenting tendency will gradually become normal. At the same time, parents' efforts in daily rearing also help to establish a more stable parent-child relationship.

Biological level: genetic factors and gene expression

The birth mode of IVF involves assisted reproductive technology, which may have an impact on genetic factors. Due to the use of assisted reproductive technology in the reproductive process of IVF, some genetic defects, gene mutations or epigenetic changes may occur. These factors may affect the physiological development and performance of infants to varying degrees. For parents, the birth mode of IVF will also cause their own psychological pressure. They may be worried about their own gene mutation or genetic defects, which may have a negative impact on parent-child relationship. In addition, the gene expression of parents will also be affected, which may affect the degree of gene sharing and correlation between parents and children.

Social level: parent-child identity and social environment

Compared with naturally conceived infants, IVF has higher flexibility and selectivity in gender selection, fetal selection and embryo screening. This may lead to changes in social roles and expectations related to children in IVF families. For example, parents may have higher expectations of IVF, hoping that they can achieve better results in learning and career. This will have a specific impact on the growth of IVF and parent-child relationship. On the other hand, parent-child relationship is also affected by the social environment. IVF families may face special observation and evaluation from relatives, friends and public opinion. This will bring additional challenges to the parents' pressure and the growing environment of IVF, and then affect the parent-child relationship.

Emotional level: parent-child communication and emotional closeness

Parent child relationship is based on emotion. In the IVF family, emotional expression and communication will also be affected. Because IVF is different from natural pregnancy, family members may need more time and effort to establish emotional connections. The frequency, mode and content of parent-child communication may be different from those of natural pregnant families. However, it is worth noting that although the parent-child relationship of IVF may be affected by some specific factors, this does not mean that IVF cannot establish emotional closeness with parents. Through the attention, understanding and support of parents and the interaction between parents and children, the emotional relationship between IVF and parents can be established and strengthened.

Summary

The influence of IVF on parent-child relationship includes psychological, biological, social and emotional aspects. Parents in IVF families may differ in parenting tendencies, parent-child attachment, gene expression and social roles. The establishment of parent-child relationship may require more efforts and communication, but through appropriate support and interaction, the parent-child relationship between IVF and parents can still be established well. IVF families need additional adaptability when facing the evaluation of relatives, friends and society to cope with the challenges. To sum up, IVF has a profound impact on parent-child relationship, and both parents and society need to provide support and understanding for it.
