Abuse in the Home

Parents bend children to their will. The main abusive force in our society is dominance. They start with babies, with sleep training, not respecting a baby's natural need for comfort and closeness, which evolved in them over millennia to keep them safe at night. Babies are so small and helpless, they need their parents, parents need to be wakened periodically to check for predators and to feed baby, this is all normal.
