> we're all winging it My mother has a PhD in child psychology from Harvard. My dad did psychology at Harvard too. They never quite figured it out. The science gets the phenomena accurately - terrible twos, babies worried that their parents have disappeared, etc. But it doesn't do a good job od telling you what to do. I think the theory actually gets in the way, because there are situations where something applies to 95% of children, and your child is part of the significant 5% which it doesn't. But it's helped a lot to know that someone as educated as my mom can get it tough, that means winging it isn't so bad.
