[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age 0-3 is foundational. That’s the most important stage for emotional development and attachment. Two loving parents (who love each other and are devoted to the child) plus 24/7 care by a person in love with that child is what results in a future strong attachment.[/quote] You can have a great relationship with you 1 year old and do everything you just said and still wind up having an adult child who wants nothing to do with you. A lot depends on how that relationship evolves. You can't just set it and forget it. Also I know many adults who were in daycare as babies or toddlers who have a close, affectionate relationship with their parents. I do think in those cases they had two loving parents who loved each other and were devoted to their children, but that also their parents had to work and thus they had to use childcare. You can love your baby and still need an income.[/quote]
