An infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time.

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.

Educarers demonstrate love by showing and teaching respect.

We not only respect babies, we demonstrate our respect every time we interact with them. Respecting a child means treating even the youngest infant as a unique human being, not as an object

When you approach your baby with an attitude of respect, you let him know what you intend to do and give him a chance to respond. You assume he is competent and involve him in his care and let him, as much as possible, solve his own problems. You give him plenty of physical freedom and you don't push development.

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