Extended excerpt [Non-fiction, book subtitle: ‘The Pre-School Years’]:
“We, as parents, must learn to give our children a chance to be self-reliant and to do it with patience and understanding. If some morning your child should show a particular opportunity to take the time to show him how it is done. Your cardinal rule should be: Never do for a child what he is capable of doing for himself.” (p. 14)
