For too many people, the damage be?gins early in life. Four out of ten infants (婴儿)born in the United States do not form a strong bond (关系)with either parent, and they will pay for that in the rest of their lives.
New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have already found: the number of babies born into families that are too poorly equipped to give them a fair chance of having a successful life is ex?tremely large.
That finding is supported by many other research projects, including a study from the University of Roches?ter showing that nearly one third of US parents don't know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies, as others have pointed out, don't come with an owner's man?ual.
The basic problem? according to the Princeton's study, is that 40 per cent of infants in the US live in fear or dis?trust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressive?ness (侵 犯), defiance (违抗)and hyperactivity (多动)as they grow into adults.
Of that number, 25 per cent don't bond with their parents because the parents aren't responding to their needs. And a tragic 15 per cent find their parents so trou?bling that they will avoid them whenever possible.
That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of vio?lence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.
"They can overcome it," sociologist Sophie Moullin of Princeton, lead author of that study, said in a telephone interview. "It's not a make-or-break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behaviour.,,
Moullin, along with co-authors from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, ana?lysed more than 100 research projects, to reach their con?clusions.
Many factors contribute to the problem , including poverty(贫穷),ignorance(无知),and stress among par?ents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can handle.
Yet strong bonds, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mum's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mum was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire go?ing in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel (桶)of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mum and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did ! I had a tour of the prison before Mum rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者),I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹〉heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan ad?venture when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to at?tend a gathering of former neighbours of Alaska.
