Beware of societal stress !
In our world dominated by greed, primal prevention builds our future children's power to transmit their feeling free to others
What it is all about
It has long been recognized that a person's social skills reveal themselves during early childhood [1]. Today, epigenetic evidence indicates that the critical period of development already starts at conception [29]. It is now kown that, from this very moment and during the primal period of the new being, any chronic stress undergone by its parents or caregivers will unfavorably alter its humoral-tactile-affective environment with harmful epigenetic consequences [2, 3, 4, 5]. Similar epigenetic effects of genitor's stress via the intimate surroundings of the offspring are observed in other primates and mammals [6, 7, 8, 9, 10].
In conclusion, future parents ought to take primal prevention measures that'll help them keep out of societal stress [65] during their coming child's primal period. Such a health promotion par excellence will benefit their "little someone" in its early epigenetic processes of building a serene personality, lifelong resilience [60], good psychic and somatic healths.

Personal and societal challenge
Young adults may be at a loss when trying to escape chronic stress and its various consequences for the child they're about to conceive. In the absence of adequate social laws, most of these new parents must prepare to call on third-type kin caregiving to meet the challenge of primal prevention.
As a matter of fact, it is hard to understand how public-health professionals – who largely determine the decisions of politicians – may still behave (in so-called developed countries) as if they ignored the distant early warning from an exploding new knowledge in life sciences. (Or is it ? [64].)

What will change
Disquieting results of social-epidemiology observations in developed countries [16] will have to be interpreted as reflecting the overall effects of societal stress via its early epigenetic impacts on all of us during our primal life. Privileged young people already allowed to take a career break during their child’s primal period may be the first sign that a major cultural blind spot is about to be cured [11]. Sooner or later primal prevention will be common practice, because eveyone will have not only the desire, but also the undefiled possibility to devote their sustained attention to their coming child, in an affectively secure environment. As recently stated by Thomas Sowell [69] : "The amount of parental attention a child gets makes a huge difference in the future".
