Query: Unrealistic expectations?

The title of this book is somewhat misleading - Brazelton and Greenspan have outlined a set of needs which, although qualitatively reasonable, are quantitatively outside the reach of most families - in all areas of the world , for all of human history. The economic necessity for parents to work most of the day, either in or outside the home, is not a function of modern western society, as is presumed by the authors. This being the case, to claim that active face-to face play with an unoccupied adult for most of a baby or toddlers waking hours is an irreducible need, appears somewhat bizarre. Remember, there has been an enormous range of child-rearing practices throughout human history, and most of them have turned out generally competent adults - children are more robust than Brazelton and Greenspan give them credit for.
