RE: How much holding is bad for your baby?
It's quite interesting, in my family they let children cry when they are little, since they have the belief that it makes them stronger or something. It's really interesting to see that we should do exactly the opposite.
Yes, it is a common misbelief. Although science has been showing proof that it is wrong for decades now, people still do it because they are afraid that they would spoil the baby :(
Of course, when it comes to toddlers and young children it is a bit different but still explaining the situation and showing the child how to cope with his or her frustration is better than abstaining yourself of holding and cuddling him or her.
Thanks for commenting and reading, Martin! I think that you are one of the two people who actually read this article :D
Very instructive what you raise in your publications. Yes, not many read the publications of others here, but I think yours are worth it, you have a very good content, and the examples you give related to your personal life makes the publication is much richer.
