My psycho-analytic work has convinced me that when in the baby's mind the conflicts between love and hate arise, and the fears of losing the loved one become active, a very important step is made in development.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.
A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.
A stable and nurturing childhood is essential for the healthy psycho-emotional and spiritual development of a human being. While we may understand what is supposed to happen to us physically, we must begin to better understand what happens to children mentally, emotionally and spiritually as a result of the families into which they are born.
The primary problem in the psychology of becoming is to account for the transformation by which the unsocialized infant becomes an adult with structured loves, hates, loyalties, and interests, capable of taking his place in a complexly ordered society.
Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving.
A child from the age of 2 or 3 absorbs what is in the environment and what generates hatred for anyone perceived to be different.
Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
When a child does bad things, the parents are always going to love their child even if they do something bad.
