The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...”
