The ties of kinship are being severed right under your nose.

When you read about how a baby needs years to develop a close relationship with the mother yet mothers hopelessly hand off their kids to daycare institutions, it brings a whole new meaning to the Islamic concept of cutting ties of kinship.

Mothers that don’t provide that emotional bonding and security and feel disconnected with their children because of their deluded perception that they belong in the workplace are literally severing the bonds with their children.

There is a whole sequence of hormones and social learning that happens with a mother and child that are dedicated to each other, and that is being systematically torn apart by society leading to emotionally unstable children that act out and are aggressive.

Nobody wants to hear the real solution which is to be more engaged with your children and dedicate time to them even if it means taking things slow.

Everyone wants a quick fix.

Medicate the child to make it do what I want it to do.

Congratulations, you’ve begun the process of zombifying your kid, making them feel like they can’t do anything without medication, and you’ve destroyed their ability to thrive or deal with life’s problems since you denied them the basic emotional stability from the start.
