“I quote another mans saying; unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Like sleep disturbances, some worries at separation can be expected in the second year. If you accept this, then you will avoid reacting to this anxiety as if its your fault. A mother who feels guilty will appear anxious to the child, as if to affirm the childs anxiety. By contrast, a parent who understands that separation anxiety is normal is more likely to react in a way that soothes and reassures the child.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
