Already human

Look directly at your child without filters or labels. Even a newborn baby is the person she will be when she's grown up, and old.

Babies are not future humans. They are whole people. Help them remain whole and to grow up unmarred by sorrow and shame. My husband, Keith, said once, when someone asked him what we hoped to accomplish by unschooling, that we wanted our children to grow up undamaged.
