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

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

Having Respect for the world is when you allow people to be what they are.

The way we care for our babies is how they experience our love.

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

What parents teach is themselves, as models of what is human - by their moods, their reactions, their facial expressions and actions. These are the real things parents need to be aware of, and of how they affect their children. Allow them to know you, and it might become easier for them to learn about themselves.

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