▸ There are only a small number of universally beneficial responses to crying - cuddling, breastfeeding, and giving warmth in other ways. These should be offered consistently whenever infants cry.

▸ There is no one, specific right way to respond to infants' crying. Culture-specific responses to infant crying that feel natural and comfortable will have a positive impact on development.

▸ There are some universally beneficial responses to crying - breastfeeding, for example. Beyond this, culture-specific parenting behaviors are also critical for development.

▸ Parents of different cultures should use different parenting behaviors in response to crying. However, all parents, around the world and in every family, should use language extensively to soothe a child.
