« p. 215 Education treaties always advise not to "spoil" children with too much love and delicacy (what they call "bitter love"), but rather to harden them to prepare them from the outset for real life. Psychoanalysts express it differently by saying that it is necessary to "prepare the child to endure frustrations", as if a child could not learn it alone in existence. In fact, it is exactly the opposite: a child who has received a real affection will be better able to do without it, once an adult, than someone who has never benefited from it. When a person is "greedy" for affection, it is always a sign that he is looking for something he has never had and not that he does not want to give up something that he had in too much abundance in his childhood. Something can seem like a favor from the outside without being a favor. A child can be filled with food, toys, care without ever being recognized and respected for what he was. »
