“Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didnt really choose it. It was pushed on us. Itwhether it be Raffi videos, French lessons, or the complete works of Brazeltonmight be just right for you and your particular child. But it is only right when you feel that it is.

“Whats this, Aurora Leigh,
You write so of the poets and not laugh?
Those virtuous liars, dreamers after dark,
Exaggerators of the sun and moon,
And soothsayers in a tea-cup? I write so
Of the only truth-tellers, now left to God,
The only speakers of essential truth,
Opposed to relative, comparative,
And temporal truths;...
The only teachers who instruct mankind,
From just a shadow on a charnel-wall.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (18061861)
