I have two "kids" now in their early 20's and although I'm divorced spent much time with them before they left home. I'm sure it's time spent with parents during the formative years that counts. I can't now control what my kids do with their lives, but I'm always here for them and because of that bonding in the early years they always keep in touch (but not the way Penny describes )

We call it mannerism Doc and Arth.
Most children who used to have breast feeding from their Mom developed mannerism. I don't know but sometimes baby couldn't sleep without breasfeeding on the right breast whilst other hand of baby is at her mother's left breast. It is their habits sometimes and developed mannerism until they fell to sleep.

They started to develop bad mannerism during their childhood.
I have also friend who got her mannerism sucking her thumb until we reached high school. During our elementary early days, she was still carrying her feeding bottle. She stopped but, but developed sucking her thumb.
