Hey Sigi, how about posting an update on social?
and about your last post here:
> Maybe they are touched almost as much in infancy but at a certain point (before adolescence) a feeling arises that they need to be toughened up, and minimising touch is part of that?
Actually, the studies showed that from day one, boys here were touched less frequently and less intimately (such as buttocks caresses were avoided).
> Which leads on to whether the boy feels a betrayal from his mother in particular, which may be displaced onto women in general?
This is interesting. Hmmm.
> You would have heard of those (perhaps apocryphal) English parents who, knowing that touch would spoil the child, allowed a handshake on Sundays?
Yes, seems so strange to me today, having a nanny or a school raise my child, but I am of my generation. Of course, in many places, sending one's child to school is strange and inhuman.... (Not that I haven't wished for a nanny to spontaneously appear sometimes :D .)
