"There is no parenting without presence."
"Without guilt, our conscience isn't working."
"The foundation of resilience is that feeling of security in the first three years."
"Mothers are very attuned to babies' distress."
"If you are present for your children in the first three years, you're encouraging a tremendous amount of neural connections to be formed."
"Your babies are not resilient; your babies are incredibly vulnerable, and they need you."
-Erica Komisar
"There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
