I really wonder how people like this baby whisperer woman would feel if
someone was trying to control all of her bodily functions the way she wants
moms to control their baby's.
''Baby Whisperer'' is such a bad name. The Horsewhisperer where the origin of
the tilte presumably comes from, bacame a horsewhisperer by studying and
observing horses in their natural state (or as close to natural as possible)
and identifying their natural needs and habits and then taking these needs
and habits as a basis to built on, acting as a dominant horse himself.
The Babywhisperers and thelike take the social needs and habits of adults to
use as a roof to work infants up to.
Sadly, in a way George Orwell's 1984 did come thrue, only it's not Big
Brother that is watching all, but is't the people themselves that are trying
to control the people they live with.
Warmly greeting,
