It's How You Love!

You should read Winnecott. It's all about his theory of "The Good Enough Mother" He believes that having a mother who plays with you, has predictable moods, allows you to separate from her in a safe emotional environment and is "present" is more important than all the other things combined.

But the other stuff is great too!
