How about us telling you to do that? Shut up, Michael. Yeah, it is going to be about as effective as telling the infant to do that. But you deserve it much, much more. Nancy Melucci Long Beach City College. Long Beach CA Make a Small Loan, Make a Big Difference - Check out Kiva.org to Le

I don't disagree with you, Joan, in fact, I tend to agree with the findings--but only because I like them, not because I believe the evidence is *compelling*. I can't find any evidence OTHER THAN that provided by Ainsworth to support that side of the story :( So its exactly my critical thinking

In 1972, Ainsworth and Bell conducted a very important study about the impact of picking up a crying baby on their future crying. I believe it was published in Child Development by Bell and Ainsworth titled, "Infant Crying and Maternal Responsiveness," 1972: 43, pp 1171-1190. I'm simply baffled a

I have been too a very silent member but this is an important issue to me. But beyond my interest on this question is too my interest in the way the question was raised: as if we should have a right answer to the apparent contradiction of data. Obviously as Kulig said this is too a practical q

It seems to me that the contemporary work on parental responses to infants' crying has moved away from learning and attachment theories and toward a regulation framework. This theoretical approach takes into account some of the individual differences in the infants' and parents' behaviors and em

I think this is a classic problem. When I teach behavioral procedures I give the example of a child crying being picked up by her or his parent as an example of positive reinforcement. In similar circumstances the baby will cry again and this last crying is the best evidence that there was

Hi Tipsters, I have a question about allowing babies to cry.My previous readings (5 years or so ago) indicated that one should pick up a crying baby quickly, because this would promote a secure attachment, and in the long run a securely attached baby cries less as well. My latest reading (e.g. L
