Notice that she wasn’t looking at him, she was looking at her phone. Ronnie was looked at her for a response and wasn’t getting any. Honestly feel for the kid.
I am doing a childhood studies and child psychology course at the moment and currently working on an essay about infants forming attachments. All the material I’ve read talks about the importance of babies having positive interactions with their mothers, the implications in future life if they don’t have them. Ronnie gets a camera shoved in his face and his mum squawking mummaz at him.
Attachment theory is fascinating! I loved learning that in an old job of mine. I worked with young people in social care.
That eye contact and gentle talking to babies that we do while they're little like him tends to come quite naturally. I have 3 kids, and just did it with mine. It wasn't until I learned about it that I realised how important it is, and what consequences it can have on your bond and relationship.
How she can look at her phone while he's there looking at her confuses the hell out of me!
I think she bleats on about loving him so much, wanting him to stay small and wanting him to wake up is Mum guilt.
I said about 70 threads ago (blimey I need a life
) that she had sold her soul to the devil, and now its seems shes risking her relationship with her son, and his future as well.. and yes I mean future, as I've seen the results of kids missing those early bonding days.
The Mums of the kids I worked with might have had drink/drug addictions. Hers addiction is her phone and quick buck. Its so sad.
