My sons were born within about a year of each other. Each time, as expected, they would cry for all sorts of reasons. In the beginning, they cried every time they were hungry-no matter the time of the day. My children's psyche consisted of the id alone. A need to survive without compromise. A raw need for satiation.

The id never goes away. It addresses the unconscious need for something and alerts us to its presence in many subtle ways. Failing to address or recognize that need may lead to unforeseen problems in our adulthood.

So apt....lovely writeup....@scholaris
