What a comment on an alienated society..... I mention to groups the idea that the mother-baby relationship is the prototype for all the relationships one ever has in life. Mothers teach this in any case, but being aware of its importance means they can use the opportunity to consciously mould the kind of relationship she hopes her baby will have during her/his life. And in the process of teaching it to her baby, live life more richly herself, through this experience. Nan Jolly M.B. B.Ch.
