То есть, буквально взращивающие интерпретации взращивают:
“Second period, beginning around 2 months (each period overlaps the prior one), is that of shared intentions. Again the sharing begins as a unilateral responsibility. Adults guess at the intentions underlying the infant's activity. In doing so, they nearly always go beyond the literal meaning of the infant's goal-directed act. Mothers and fathers attribute to the infant more specific intentionality, more elaborated plans, more accurate memory, more subtlety of affect than can ever be demonstrated objectively.”
“…until recently we have missed the importance of the way parents take over these indices of intention and interpret them as if they were messages.
The "he says" phenomenon is the purest illustration of this interpretive process. Before their infant is born, parents often tell each other what "he says." As they feel his intrauterine movements, one parent translates their meaning:
"He says," explains the parent, " 'No more beans, please!' "
"She says" (if their fantasy is a girl), " 'Let me out of here!' "
After the baby is born, one parent says to the other:
"She says, 'I'm hungry. Mom.' "
"He says, 'I'm sleepy Daddy, don't bounce me so much.' "
Indices of physiological state—hunger and pain cries, or the restless movements associated with fatigue—are interpreted as if they were signs of intention to do something about the state—to eat, to escape, to sleep—or requests to the parent to do something about it.
[…] What the parents are doing is integrating the new child into their already existing social system.”
«…parents treat the child as more mature and more of a partner than he really is. Admittedly, there are real cues from the child that show he understands more than he did last week or last month. But the higher forms of interaction into which the adults slip are inevitably more advanced than what the child is actually capable of at the time. Thus parents are constantly drawing the child forward into a more challenging apprenticeship, eventually into a full partnership.»
