Infantilization was identified by David Levy as one form of maternal over-protection. Recent research on child neglect in rural Appalachia suggested an intergenerational “cycle of infantilization” among mothers. A study was made, linking IQ decrement among a group of mildly retarded children to specific child-rearing practices of their mothers. The results clarify the development of the infantile personality, especially among handicapped children
