t seems that someone is always ready to give advice about withholding
affection and contact from young children.  My parents generation were
told (I'm 40) that they should not pick babies up when they are crying
and very little at other times.

This is all so dumb.

Human beings need warmth, and love, and human contact (for all of you nit-
pickers the repetitive use of "and" is stylistically correct).

Young children are human beings.

By all means--hug your children, hold your children, and love your children.

The world may be cold and cruel, but you don't have to feel compelled to 
drive that point home.
