If infants are ready to do something, they will do it. In fact, when they are ready, they have to do it.
Magda GerberWhat infants need is the opportunity and time to take in and figure out the world around them.
Magda GerberI wish children could grow according to their natural pace: sleep when sleepy, wake up when rested, eat when hungry, cry when upset, play and explore without being unnecessarily interrupted; in other words, be allowed to grow and blossom as each was meant to.
Magda GerberWhen you approach your baby with an attitude of respect, you let him know what you intend to do and give him a chance to respond. You assume he is competent and involve him in his care and let him, as much as possible, solve his own problems. You give him plenty of physical freedom and you don't push development.
