Actually, it has been attributed to child psychologist Lee Salk, PhD,
brother of Jonas Salk of the polio vaccine. I once had the privilege to
interview Dr. Lee Salk for the newsletter DoubleTalk, which I published for
more than a decade many years ago.

Lee Salk was truly a gentle man and he is also quoted as saying, "There's no
harm in a child crying: the harm is done only if his cries aren't answered.
...If you ignore a baby's signal for help, you don't teach him
independence... What you teach him is that no other human being will take
care of his needs."
