“The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear.” - Robert Anton Wilson

"Reading to children at night, responding to their smiles with a smile, returning their
vocalizations with one of your own, touching them, holding them - all of these further
a child's brain development and future potential, even in the earliest months."
~ T. Berry Brazelton ”
03 REGULATION
"From early infancy, it appears that our ability to regulate emotional states depends
upon the experience of feeling that a significant person in our life is simultaneously
experiencing a similar state of mind." ~ Daniel J. Siegel
04 GIVING
"The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have."
~ Leo Buscaglia
05 DAILY NURTURING
“If you plant a tree, the seed alone isn't sufficient for growth. It requires water, irrigation,
mineral conditions, sunshine and so on. It's the same with human beings. Children need
acceptance and a strong sense of attachment, belonging, understanding, and the
assurance of being seen and heard.” - Gabor Maté
