One of the hardest things for me to do in my work with parents is to convince them that their children have everything within them to become just who they’re meant to be. I have parents who constantly talk to, teach and prop in order to educate their babies and move them to the next phase of development FAST. But the truth is, less is more. Your child needs your love and respect and then FREEDOM to choose what he needs developmentally. He will let you know what he needs from you!
