RE: Developing Sustainable Attachment With Your Child (featuring @logic as author)
I think a huge amount of mental pathology is caused by early attachment problems. There is the old monkey experiment (which is actually quite terrible and wouldn't be done today) where an infant monkey would forego food in exchange for hugging a warm (fake) mother. This is why neglect early in life can be so damaging - probably irreparably so in severe cases.
I know the experiment. It was very cruel experiment, although taught us a lot.
Yes, psychological disorders and cognitive underdevelopment is directly related to unsustainable upbringing. I consider the above knowledge fundamental for everyone like cooking.
I think that every adult who plans to have a child should go through meticulous parenting education course where they would learn relevant knowledge such as above. Also every "want to be parent" should go through process of psychological counselling or even therapy in order to solve their own psychological problems first. This would help to prevent mindless parenting and proliferation of suffering from one generation to another.
Yes but it will never happen though even though it would help society a lot.
