”Look, children are a gift of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is a reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; he shall not be ashamed when he speaks with the enemies at the gate.“ Psalms 127:3-5
”Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.“Proverbs 22:6

Withholding love can actually have physical effects during childhood. For example, researchers at McGill University in Montreal found that children who have authoritarian parents—parents who put too much focus on achievement and rarely show affection—are more likely to be obese than children whose parents often show affection. Specifically, the study of 40,000 children aged 6 to 11 found that authoritarian parents are 37 percent more likely to have obese kids.Subsequently, emotional neglect has negative biological implications even in adulthood. A 2013 study found that adults who experienced a lack of affection in childhood were more stressed and had greater disease risk.

a 2012 study found that children with affectionate mothers have a larger hippocampus than those who have been emotionally neglected. To clarify, the hippocampus is the part of the brain that controls memory, learning capabilities, and responses to stress.“Our study suggests a clear link between nurturing and the size of the hippocampus,” said lead researcher Joan L. Luby, MD, professor of child psychiatry. “Having a hippocampus that’s almost 10 percent larger just provides concrete evidence of nurturing’s powerful effect.”
