Many things we need can wait. The child cannot. Now is the time his bones are formed, his mind developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow, his name is today.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.
If the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself.
When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish.
In the first three years of life, the foundations of physical and also of psychic health are laid. In these years, the child not only increases in size but passes through great transformations. This is the age in which language and movement develop. The child must be safeguarded in order that these activities may develop freely.
Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature.
If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.
What a child can do in cooperation today, he can do alone tomorrow.
Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion.
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
