Psychologists use the term “secure attachment (依赖)” to talk about basic trust. A child who has a secure attachment to a parent or caregiver believes that parent will keep him safe and will provide for his pressing needs. Some parents worry that picking up babies right away will make them overly dependent. I like to tell these parents about a very important study on the effects picking up crying babies. Babies whose parents try to respond immediately to their crying actually cry less, and are more independent as preschoolers, compared to babies who were left to “cry it out”.
