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

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.

We have every right to dream heroic dreams.

I always looked upon the acts of racist exclusion, or insult, as pitiable, from the other person. I never absorbed that. I always thought that there was something deficient about such people.
