Failure of Infant Bonding Leads to Violent Teen Behaviour

It seems from the internet that there is a considerable ambivalence from ‘nursery advisors’ of large companies such as John Lewis over the matter of choice over forward facing or parent facing buggies and the suchlike.  I would contend that it defies common sense, common intuitive sense and that such advisors should be castigated for their temerity in offering such advice.

I have spent some several years noticing the attitudes of infants in both situations and the overwhelming  constancy of infants in stress in the forward facing situation rather backs up the notion of a lost opportunity to bond.  Things I see are the infant asleep, or put to quiet with some irksome convenience rubbish or a dummy in its mouth staring blandly into space or twisting its head back to catch mothers attention.  Infants facing forward cry much more.

I have the distinct belief that that an infant deprived  parental endorsement of stimuli received by the child results in ‘a neural non-connection’, an ‘in brain’ failure to acknowledge the stimulus as a safe and happy one as apposed to a stimulus whose safety remains  unknown or ill- defined.

I have a hunch juvenile dysfunction as seems to be expressed in loutish and offensive behaviour is a legacy of a failure or fragmented bonding.  Certainly Freudian psychology would encompass the child’s capacity to seek later revenge for these ‘rides’ in isolation.  Even the excessive covering  of the infant’s face in the rain and sun is to be deplored and the spectacle of the infant under a bubble of plastic  smacks of it being sent on a space trip.

Also the first thing the infant  wants to see when it wakes is it mother’s face, to know she is there; this the default scenario, the ever needed baseline for the rest of intelligence gathering and curiosity.
