It is a common article of belief that each child is unique. Action based on this belief, though, is rare.

Stacey, Barrie – Social Behavior and Personality, 1980
Provides evidence that the significance given to the infant-mother attachment and personality and social development is not warranted. Infants normally develop attachments to more than one person. Their interpersonal world is complex and includes fathers and other caretakers. (Author/JAC)

Lamb, Michael E.; Lamb, Jamie E. – Family Coordinator, 1976
