I wish children could grow according to their natural pace: sleep when sleepy, wake up when rested, eat when hungry, cry when upset, play and explore without being unnecessarily interrupted; in other words, be allowed to grow and blossom as each was meant to.

Infancy is a vulnerable stage of development, therefore, it's not enough that babies receive good care, the care must be excellent.

Focus on quality and ease of movement, not on the age a milestone is accomplished.

Every baby moves with more ease and efficiency if allowed to do it at his own time and in his own way, without our trying to teach him. A child who has always been allowed to move freely develops not only an agile body but also good judgment about what he can and cannot do.

Let the child be the scriptwriter, the director and the actor in his own play.

When you hold an infant, hold him not just with your body, but with your mind and heart.

Wouldn't life be easier for both parents and infants if parents would observe, relax and enjoy what their child is doing, rather than keep teaching what the child is not yet capable of?
