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?

Much harm has been done in the name of love, but no harm can be done in the name of respect.

I have spent my adult life trying to figure out why parents and society put themselves into a race -- what's the hurry? I keep trying to convey the pleasure every parent and teacher could feel while observing, appreciating and enjoying what the infant is doing. This attitude would change our educational climate from worry to joy.

Remember, nobody can make another person fall asleep. How to relax and let sleep come is a skill your child, like everybody else, must learn all by herself.

What infants need is the opportunity and time to take in and figure out the world around them.

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

A positive goal to strive for when disciplining would be to raise children we not only love, but in whose company we love being.
