Every time a child falls and skins a knee or gets a cut or scrape parents are programmed to react in a ritual that not only makes the child feel better, but we feel better as well. I think the psychology behind ‘kiss and make it better’ is more for the parents than it is for the child because we want to know that we are protecting them from hurts. The kiss is good. Your child feels better cos they have been psyched into thinking the kiss is magical and mom feels better cos she was there for her child.
