You know yourself how critical your attention is to kids, and how they thrive on it. I had no advantages or skills as a parent but I have learned from seeing my kids grow just how important real attention is. To be deprived of real attention is to be deprived of the possibility of relationship. People back then didn't know what they were doing, thinking of my own case.
