Our children are being led to believe that they are doomed to failure in a world which has room only for those at the top … in all our efforts to provide “advantages” we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history and possibly the unhappiest.

Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
