Quote

The adult must recognize that he must take second place, endeavor all he can to understand the child, and to follow and help him in the development of his life. This should be the aim of mother and teacher. If the child’s personality is to be helped to develop, since the child is the weaker, the adult with his stronger personality must hold himself in check, and, taking his lead from the child, feel proud if he can understand and follow him.
