"I wish to dedicate this book to all parents, who are the first educators of a human being, to the Assistants to Infancy and to primary school teachers. They have the power, through the environment they offer, to enhance a child's potential or deviate and limit it. Children are wonderful human beings. To live with them, as parents or adults, is a precious opportunity which enriches our life while serving life where it begins." S.Q.M.
