BASIC ABILITIES AND PLAY PREFERENCES: BIRTH TO AGE 12 Basic Abilities and Play Preferences: Birth to Age 12. This article is intended to serve as a handy reference guide and starting point for understanding and distinguishing children's basic abilities and preferences as they grow. These abilities and preferences play an important role in attracting and motivating children to interact withtoys.
ATTACHMENT PARENTING IS NOT... The 'attachment' comes. from their being allowed to. attach to us, not from us. attaching to them. Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. SOCIOPATHIC PARENTING Our ways of caring for infants and children are actually sociopathic in that they are aggressively antisocial and asocial. It is common practice to force infants to spend long periods of time alone in their cribs, to sleep alone, and to ignore their crying, so that they will leave us alone and learn to accept being alone. COSLEEPING AROUND THE WORLD Cosleeping is practiced in a variety of ways around the world. In Latin America, the Philippines, and Vietnam, some parents sleep with their baby in a hammock next to the bed. Others place their baby in a wicker basket in the bed, between the two parents. In Japan, many parents sleep next to their baby on bamboo or straw mats, or onfutons.
THE NURTURING MOTHER The natural nurturing and protective response of mothers were perceived as indulgent and as spoiling and weakening children. Empathy and compassion were detriments in the struggle to survive. Indifference to the cry or pain of another was an asset in a worldwhere the
CONNECTING THROUGH FILLING THE LOVE CUP A child's love cup holds their emotional fuel. Their emotional fuel is the attention, connection, and nurturing they receive from the people they love. Meeting children's emotional need for connection by filling their love cup is as important as meeting their physical need for food. Spending time filling a child's love cup is proactive parenting. ATTACHMENT AND SEPARATION: WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW Breastfeeding is part of nature's pattern, to work with attachment behavior in developing a close, warm, and pleasurable mother-infant relationship. In humans, for better or for worse, these are the early days in a relationship which, in some form or other, will be lifelong. It may be that one day this baby will care for the mother or father. GIVING YOUR CHILD "VOICE": THE 3 RULES OF PARENTING One of the most important psychological factors in raising a family is giving children "voice." What is "voice"? It is the sense of agency that resides in all of us, that makes us confident that we will be heard, and that we will have impact on our environment. ATTACHMENT: THE BABY'S FEELINGS FOR HIS PARENTS The strength of the baby's attachment to him reflects the extent of the father's availability and involvement. The father is known and enjoyed but is as yet less important than the mother because his role as a breadwinner usually means that he has the smaller part in the ongoing care. But the father becomes increasingly important as themonths

THE SCIENCE OF ATTACHMENT: THE BIOLOGICAL ROOTS OF LOVE Attachment theory is based on the belief that the mother-child bond is the essential and primary force in infant development, and thus forms the basis of coping, negotiation of relationships, and personality development. 1 If the mother is absent or unavailable, a primary caregiver serves the mother's role. CREATING MORE NURTURING ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN Creating environments in which children can thrive means consciously creating warm, loving, sensory rich environments where their physical, emotional and spiritual needs are recognized, honored, and met by their family and their community. It is true that children "live whatthey learn".
THE INFLUENCE OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT ON CRIME The reasoning behind this curious discrepancy has been the belief that physical punishment will prevent the child from becoming a criminal. The frequent headlines: "Rising Tide of Juvenile Delinquency" usually attribute the situation to a decline of the use of corporal punishment in schools and homes. "Permissiveness," or letting the child do THE DANGERS OF HOLDING THERAPY Holding therapy is a practice described and recommended in the book Holding Time, by Martha Welch.It consists of forced holding by a therapist or parent until the child stops resisting or until a fixed time period has elapsed; sometimes the child is not released until there is eye contact. CHILDREN ARE BORN INNOCENT Children are born innocent. They want only to be loved, to learn, and to contribute. Those parents who are not able to appreciate this truth miss what should be the most precious moment of their life. They cannot trust their child - they instead suspect him of being somehow flawed and requiring constant correction. REWARDS AND PRAISE: THE POISONED CARROT Praise is a reminder that the praiser has power over them. It diminishes the child's sense of autonomy, and, like a little pat on the head, it keeps them small. Meanwhile, the rewarder is like an assessor, judging what merits praise and what doesn't. This makes them somewhat scary to the child. CHILD ABUSE IN SWEDEN Between 1975 and 2000, the average annual number of homicides of children aged 0 to 4 in Sweden was 4. The average incidence between 1995 and 2000 (2.8) was lower than that between 1975 and 1980 (4.0) - despite population growth.

Boyd Eaton, M.D., Marjorie Shostak, and Melvin Konner, M.D., Ph.D. A key feature of the care of infants and young children among hunters and gatherers is proximity between mother and infant. Close physical contact is the rule, and the infant's dependent needs and even their mere demands are routinely indulged.
