Thanks Rachel,
Just forwarded it to my mom with the subject "No wonder your grandkids are so smart" :)

She always kidding me "she so spoiled".

Great message. Lucky babies whose parents know their cries aren't manipulative.

Fabulous! Now, if we could only get those moms who let their newborns cry to read this...

The last sentence of that article really stands out to me:
------------------
The concept of spoiling just doesn't seem logical to Young. "When people support me and respond to me, it brings out the best in me," she reasons. "Why would my baby be any different?"
------------------

This is so true!
