He spends 16 times as many waking hours in the home as in the school, and 126 times as many hours in the home as in the church.

It is the best place in which to develop obedience, which nature and society will later demand.”

“Crying, that is, sobbing is the earliest and deepest way to release tension. Infants can cry almost from the moment of birth, and do so easily following every stress that produces a state of tension in the body...
