Why Love Matters

I'm curious about the research or experiences that led Sue Gerhardt to emphasize love's role in shaping a child's future. Did any particular case or study stand out to her?

The book made me think about my own childhood and how small moments of affection might have had a big impact. Am I the only one surprised by how critical these early days are?

The scientific explanations offered a new perspective on the importance of emotional connection. I'm wondering if this changed anyone's approach to parenting or caregiving.
