This is a long tweet - but its worth a read - Reform UK’s Dr David Bull talking about family and whether parents should stay at home to look after their children: “You want to support marriage through the tax system and make it easier for parents to stay at home to look after their children - what's the reason behind that?” Dr David Bull: We believe that children do better in stable relationships across the board. And actually we need to encourage that. In marriage you think? Dr Bull: In marriage, and that marriage is an important bond, isn't it? Because I think what children desperately need is someone at home, and they need someone to be there and support them during that education. So we think that's a cornerstone, actually. And one of the things that I find really strange and very difficult to understand is the disconnect that children now have, because when you come home, you want to be able to offload what's been going on at school, and you need someone at home to be able to do that. And if we can incentivise that through tax breaks that has to be a good thing. Do you think if you're a child with two working parents, that's not a great upbringing for you? Dr Bull: No… Of course, it's incredibly difficult. And parents have to work because of the cost of living. But actually, the ideal would be to have a parent that is there available when children need them. You say in the manifesto that the majority of mothers would choose to stay at home more if they could. What's the research on that? Dr Bull: So we polled extensively, actually. But I think if you talk to any mother, of course, they want to spend time with their children. They want to see them grow and develop. And if you're spending all your time at work and you don't have enough time with your kids, I think that's a travesty. You think it's a travesty? Dr Bull: yes And do you think it damages the children as well? Dr Bull: I think emotionally, children need support as they grow and develop. There are lots of questions they have. You have to look at why children are now so obsessed with social media, and certainly from the point of view of having nephews and nieces that are being told all sorts of stuff on social media that needs correcting immediately. One of the biggest things we've seen is the rise of anorexia and bulimia in young women and in young boys as well. And what - do you think that might be because you don't have parents at home? Dr Bull: Well, I think actually the parents are there and they need to counter some of the myths that are on social media.

A child's sexuality does not erase the years you spent raising them. It doesn't erase the sleepless nights, the sacrifices, the memories, or the love you once had for them. If your child comes to you with the truth about who they are, remember that they are still the same child who called you "Mom" or "Dad." The only difference is that they trusted you enough to be honest. Rejecting, disowning, or abandoning your child doesn't change who they are. It only changes where they feel safe. Instead of running into your arms, they may run into the arms of strangers, where they can be vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, homelessness, depression, or even suicide. Love should never be conditional. A parent's love should be the safest place a child can ever find, not the first place they experience rejection. You don't have to agree with everything about your child to treat them with dignity, compassion, and love. Families can have difficult conversations without abandoning one another. At the end of the day, ask yourself this: if your child needed you at their lowest moment, would you want them to remember your love or your rejection? Children don't stop being your children because they tell you the truth about themselves. They still need guidance. They still need protection. Most of all, they still need their parents. Choose love over rejection. Choose understanding over abandonment. Your child will remember that choice for the rest of their life.

Secure attachment during infancy lays the foundation for our lifelong mental and physical health. As I wind down this week’s series on infant/toddler attachment, I wanted to conclude with a few final words about why it matters so much. Obviously, strong relational connections between parents and children are beneficial in and of themselves. But there’s more to it than that. Attachment grounds and shapes our long-term mental health as well as our ability to enter into positive relationships with others. You see, children who are securely attached tend to be just that: Secure. This allows them to navigate the world independently, with confidence in themselves and their abilities. It almost seems contradictory that independence would spring from dependence. But it most surely does. The more love and care children receive during their earliest months and years and the more attentively and predictably their needs are met by treasured loved ones, the more they experience the world as safe place. And this is a gift to both the brain and the body. When the human body is not flooded daily with stress hormones and when anxiety occurs - not as a constant state - but more occasionally in response to life’s challenges, not only are we better prepared to deal with it - but our bodies don’t bear the long-term burden of a constant stress response. This is a fascinating area of early development that we are still only beginning to fully understand, but suffice it to say that positive early experiences - both in the home and in conjunction with high quality early education and care programs- are increasingly linked to lifelong health. This brain-body connection has huge implications not only for individual children, but for our public policy. A tweet is hardly the place to unpack this conversation in full, but know that my new book, The Daycare Myth (which can be ordered from the link in my bio) explores in detail the disconnect between what we know about the science of early development and how it is enacted (or, more frequently, not enacted) in our public policy. The costs - both developmentally and economically - are astronomical. And not only to individuals, but to taxpayers - who would be far better served by making small investments in getting things right in the first place than paying for the results of our inaction across the lifespan. It all begins with attachment. Thanks for following along this week! ——— This lovely video - which, to be clear, is NOT an illustration of insecure attachment - was shared to IG by olliejamesfaulds.
