Flymiamihoney-
What you said makes complete sense. There are too many new (and experienced!) parents out there that are so busy trying to manipulate their baby's schedules to fit into their own that they are missing out on getting to know their babies and recognize them as individuals with their own needs.
It truly makes me sad to think that there are babies out there right now that are crying themselves into exhaustion without anyone to comfort them. What a terribly lonely deal for them.
As far as CIO leading to insecurity in preschoolers, I did not experiment but we practice attachment parenting (co-sleeping and the whole bit until my son was 3) and he is now 4 and THE most confindent, polite child I have ever seen. Everyday we get comments on how nice he is.
Its true, some kids are just easier. But now we have a four month old daughter that is .....hmmm
how should I put it, spirited? She needs to be held alot, is VERY attached to me and yes, it is a challenge. But I am enjoying it while I can. Time flies too fast and in the not too distant future she too will be an independant, social child who won't want to be held ALL the time and I will miss it greatly.
Thanks for your post. It makes me feel good that there are other parents out there that believe CIO is unfair to the little PEOPLE in our lives.
