Denmark is taking a major step in child wellbeing after a nationwide study revealed that the “cry it out” method is still being taught in many municipalities. More than 700 psychologists have called for an immediate end, arguing that prolonged crying without comfort can disrupt healthy brain development. Their findings emphasize that infants depend on responsive caregiving to build emotional safety during their earliest months.
Researchers explain that when babies cry for long periods without support, their stress levels rise significantly. This stress can activate pathways linked to fear, insecurity, and difficulty regulating emotions later in life. Comfort from a caregiver, however, helps shape neural circuits responsible for bonding, trust, and calmness. These early experiences form the foundation for emotional resilience.
Psychologists also stress that crying is a baby’s only way to communicate. Responding quickly does not create “bad habits.” Instead, it teaches the developing nervous system that support is available, strengthening secure attachment. Children with secure attachment show better social skills, confidence, and emotional balance as they grow.
Denmark’s shift reflects a broader movement toward gentle, responsive parenting. Prioritizing connection over outdated methods helps ensure infants feel safe, supported, and ready to thrive.
