Got a letter from Focus on the Family... - Page 2  

post #21 of 22

if you want to hear more

this came from a pearls website i cannot believe people are actually believing this

As the mother, holding her child, leans over the crib and begins the swing downward, the infant stiffens, takes a deep breath and bellows. The battle for
control has begun in earnest. Someone is going to be conditioned. Either the tender-hearted mother will cave in to this self-centered demand (thus training the child to get his way by crying) or the infant is allowed to cry (learning that crying is counterproductive). Crying because of genuine physical need is simply the infant's only voice to the outside world; but crying in order to manipulate the adults into constant servitude should never be rewarded. Otherwise, you will reinforce the child's growing self-centeredness, which will eventually become socially intolerable.

That is...wow.

Yes my evil selfish infant. Wanting my attention and touch -- how dare it. *sigh*
