I realise that I am probably nit-picking here, but I must take issue with this statement. Anyone who has experienced the interaction of children and those who are caring for them will know that love is powerfully there on both sides from the beginning.


It is there,.. but witness a child say to an adult, "I am in love." and the average adult will say, "you do not know what love is" in response.
Or if Billy says "I love Jane" or visa versa and the children are pre-pubescent, the average adult will think that it is cute but without giving credit to any understanding of what love is.
