Much harm has been done in the name of love, but no harm can be done in the name of respect.
Do less; observe more; enjoy most.
Children do not play because they learn; They play because they play.
What infants need is the opportunity and time to take in and figure out the world around them.
All children accomplish milestones in their own way, in their own time.
Set aside predictable, regular times to give full attention without being distracted by other concerns while also creating a safe, familiar place for baby to spend time playing alone.
