Quote of the Week
The British pediatrician D. W. Winnicott once wrote, “There’s no such thing as a baby. There is a baby and someone.”
I’ve always loved the quote, because it so simply encapsulates our situation as the newest members of the human species: We enter the world with fine tuned powers of observation, ready to learn and engage. But without at least one significant adult (and hopefully many more) ready to dedicate to our need for connection, it is impossible for our development to optimize.
Or as Urie Bronfenbrenner explained: “Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”

Article of the Week
I can’t remember much about my own dad’s opinions, but I’ll never forget the camping trips he took me on all through my childhood. We are made by relationships, not notions.
