Allow the child to be authentic, to move, to feel the way they move, appreciating them for what they are.

Sadness, discomfort, frustration -- they are all valid human emotions. Why would we want to suppress them?

Do less; observe more; enjoy most.

Predictability brings about security.

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

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