A teacher is better than two books.
-Chinese Proverb
"Getting to know each other is, of course, mutual.
"As we get to know the child, he begins to get to know us, and this happens primarily through our hands.
"Hands constitute the first relationship for the baby with the world beyond breastfeeding.
"Hands pick him up, lay him down, wash, dress, and feed him.
"What kind of world reveals itself to an infant?
"What a difference it makes when gentle, patient, and peaceful hands, which also convey safety and clarity, take care of him."
