As many of you know, this is the key message in our parenting book Smart Parent/Smart Child.
The media has also been promoting this fact including the first five campaign in California which has reflected the exact language from our publication.
So it is almost impossible for us to acknowledge that we are still seeing parents who are still disconnected from their infant as an intelligent human being. In these instances, their infant’s needs are solely limited to nutritional and physical care, leaving their emotional and interactive development completely ignored.
By the time they join our daycare, usually following their first birthday, it is alarming to observe the impact on their behavior. They are either angry and aggressive or completely withdrawn from physical interaction.
We have had years of experience and interaction to support these conclusions. These behaviors are primarily displayed toward the mother and other children.
We have seen a long term level of success in helping these parents and children create a strong emotional bond. However, it is no longer as natural and successful until well into their second year and in fact, in several faces, behavioral issues remained throughout their time with us.
For all the parents who have a young child or are expecting their first born, please educate yourself so can provide the best possible experience for you, your partner and your child.
This is the most important thing you can do as a parent.
Good luck!
