Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better.

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

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

Do less; observe more; enjoy most.

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

Remember, nobody can make another person fall asleep. How to relax and let sleep come is a skill your child, like everybody else, must learn all by herself.

Wouldn't life be easier for both parents and infants if parents would observe, relax and enjoy what their child is doing, rather than keep teaching what the child is not yet capable of?
