Quote

Our unobtrusive presence usually requires a good deal of patience. It takes patience for us to just stand by while a baby perfects the skills of walking or stair climbing or investigates a flower. It requires patience for us to hold still while a baby explores us. But we soon find ourselves taking silent pleasure in the intensity of the child’s actions. I believe we get the sense that the child is engaged in activities that are vital to her growth—and we are quietly giving growth a chance to occur.
