Babies are perhaps the most attuned to their needs, knowing when something is off... they will cry in order to communicate this to those around them as they don't have another language to communicate.
A lot of adults mentally beat this attunement from children when they are old enough to learn to put the needs of the adults before their own so that they won't be neglected.

@realcaseyrollins Yeah. It's a survival mechanism for children to put their parents first. A lot of adults don't know how to be attuned with their own needs let alone that of their children. The moment that needs inconvenient them, they teach the child to stop that behaviour. It embarrasses them, or they feel ashamed, or they feel guilty. Then teach this to their children. Some of this is the fault of the messages from society too.
