On bonding with babies:
"Sit still with them. And when they are still, sit still with yourself. Don't use so many moments of the day to do anything."

"It was nice to be more quiet—to let things go unsaid. Not talking automatically and at length gave me more time to think about what I really wanted to say, if anything at all. I found I had fewer regrets—wishing I'd said something different or not at all. By talking less, I became a better listener too, I think." —Karen James |
