No Longer Locked in Emotional Immaturity

[My daughter] has already shown signs of movement and is not asking to be babied all the time; she has moved from bottle and pacifier craving and the clinging shadowing of the toddler. She has shown signs of moving away from an ultra-naive state to being able to realize what serves her and when someone is manipulating her. She is moving quickly with this as with her cognitive abilities…and with changing the programmes that keep her locked in emotional immaturity. Obviously there is a lot of shifting still to do but it is impressive to see stuff move so quickly.
