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

Predictability brings about security.

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.

If infants are ready to do something, they will do it. In fact, when they are ready, they have to do it.

Educarers demonstrate love by showing and teaching respect.
