Baby Quote by T. Berry Brazelton

“Every time you give a parent a sense of success or of empowerment, you're offering it to the baby indirectly. Because every time a parent looks at that baby and says 'Oh, you're so wonderful,' that baby just bursts with feeling good about themselves.” quote by T. Berry Brazelton
