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

We not only respect babies, we demonstrate our respect every time we interact with them. Respecting a child means treating even the youngest infant as a unique human being, not as an object

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.

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

Do less; observe more; enjoy most.

If infants are ready to do something, they will do it. In fact, when they are ready, they have to do it.

Allow the child to be authentic, to move, to feel the way they move, appreciating them for what they are.

Sadness, discomfort, frustration -- they are all valid human emotions. Why would we want to suppress them?

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.

The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.

Because I believe that I know about that aspect of hip-hop better than any one else, I'm trying my best in order to be the most real I can in this situation.

Oh that thou hadst like others been all words, And no performance.

Now that the steam engine rules the world, a title is an absurdity, still I am all dressed up in this title. It will crush me if Ido not support it. The title attracts attention to myself.
