Stop being a critic and be a light; don't be a judge, be a model. I think we are far too critical.

Generally speaking, there is a time to correct, of course; but my biggest advice would be, 'Affirm your child.' View quote

[I]t makes little difference where we draw the line between the pruning and shaping [of behavior] by natural selection which is genetically transmitted to offspring (the wiring you are born with), and the pruning and shaping that later takes place in the individual (the rewiring you end up with, as a result of experience or training). Nature and nurture blend seamlessly together. View quote
