I'm no parent, but the act of separation during those early weeks of ones life may be necessary to prepare the person to be self-sufficient one day.

- feydaykyn 8y agoYou should read some modern psychology book because this reasoning is false, especially for an infant. In French there's an amazing book by Catherine Gueguen, "pour une enfance heureuse" (For a happy childhood), it builds on the latest researches to offer guidelines. Its scientific take helped me overcome such unfounded traditional thinking as the one expressed. Sadly, I couldn' t find it in English, but there will be others.
- spraak 8y agoIt's completely premature preparation and many believe leads actually a much less independent person later, and on the extreme someone with severe anxieties. Imagine asking a toddler to cross the street by themself, do you just risk them getting hit by a car just so they know not to? No, more sensibly you'd be there with them to guide them until they're truly ready to do it alone.
