  • The point is a child needs nurture and contact with a primary caregiver-- mother, father or surrogate. When this film was made it was generally thought food, shelter and perhaps education were the only real needs of children. We know now that affirmation, nurture and loving guidance are as critical to human development and well-being as food and water.

  • emotionally disturbing to say the least....seriously, this is horrifying..human testing like this....how awful.

  • @pitthousing12345 okay, sure, but why is it only targeted at the mothers? Why not the fathers, grandparents, aunts, older siblings? There are plenty of people in the child's life besides the mother, and in some cases the mother isn't in the picture, and the baby grows up all right.

  • @pighappiness it's really anyone who will allow the child to form an attachment with. the title of this particular video is sexist.

  • @TheMonthofMayo no, this was an experiment done by spitz to show the need for attachment in infants for proper development.

  • @HeatherHeavenly reading skill improvement :p

  • what will happen to these kids when they grow up? will they still be "just" a biological human with no social skills what so ever? will they be able to function in this world?

  • @pighappiness they are douchebags, and they wanna go and get a new wife

  • @eddymann04 with respect mate ,your dad is a douchebag asshole, and so are any of those types of girls like the one he married
