Later chapters examine the vital role of love in successful parenting and describe the self-perpetuating cycles that babies and parents build into their own relationships: "Babies learn about the world based on what they see their parents do, and they act based on that knowledge. Those actions influence what their parents do, which influences what the babies do and how they act, and so forth. A naturally sad baby observes a sad mother, concludes that sadness is the human condition, acts sadly and makes her mother even more sad." A book review by Josh Lacey on The Philosophical Baby by Alison Gopnik. This seems an interesting book to read.
