The Behaviorist Viewpoint on Bonding

There is a behaviorist named John B. Watson who said that you should never hug or kiss your kid or let them sit on your lap. That's the behaviorist viewpoint. And Skinner and his Skinner box which I feel like we've talked about that a bunch of times. But so like these guys were saying like they turn this behaviorist explanation for bonding into child rearing practices. They almost treated it as if you were like that that was equivalent to a child having a tantrum later.
