Insecure Mother/Child Bond and Anxiety



Dr. Laura,

Thank you for continuing to encourage mothers in their full-time parenting. I feel for the young moms who call you and say they feel unproductive as a stay-at-home parent. The "you-can-do-it-all-just-dump-your-kids-in-day-care" mentality has taken a firm grip with women AND the children suffer. Women need to know, if you are not there, you will NOT forge a strong bond. Your child WILL suffer. As a day care worker, I witnessed children, especially boys, who were angry at their mothers at drop off and pick up. This will come back to haunt us as parents and as a society, for what is scarier than an angry, anxious, young male who is lost in this world?

Thank you for encouraging mothers. They need you and so do their babies. Don't ever stop!
