I found myself having a hard time with this many times with my own children. What you say here makes good sense and I believe many parents crave such guidance. For those that agree with this perspective, it will hopefully help them to gain some clarity for themselves and to feel at ease. Then they can fully enjoy the beauty of observing their children develop naturally, which is a true gift.

I appreciate your comments and plan to share them with all families in my parent-infant classes. It is such a joy to see babies moving gracefully with their own intention, without adult intrusion. Some things cannot be taught by manipulation, but must be explored, experienced and practiced by the baby, "on their own, with our help" as parents provide the baby a safe, comfortable space and the time to delight in their own discovery.

When my first son was born, my husband (long gone, thank you) bought a product called Baby Barbells. No joke! It was not long after that I kicked him out of the house. It was like Mike says, he thought our kids were science projects. Janet if that picture is your husband in real life and he is the writer then I hate you. But I'll keep reading. - Grace Well, once again I am left believing all the good ones are gone! When my first son was born, my husband (long gone, thank you) bought a product called Baby Barbells.
