Children do not play because they learn; They play because they play.

A positive goal to strive for when disciplining would be to raise children we not only love, but in whose company we love being.

Children raised with respect and inner direction tend to play well in groups, at times quite peacefully, each involved in her own project or involved with the other chidren.

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

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.

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