When 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.

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