    “A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “It no longer makes sense to speak of “feeding problems” or “sleep problems” or “negative behavior” is if they were distinct categories, but to speak of “problems of development” and to search for the meaning of feeding and sleep disturbances or behavior disorders in the developmental phase which has produced them.”
