"Early childhood is both the most critical and the most vulnerable time in any child's development. Our research, and that of others, demonstrates that in the first few years the ingredients for intellectual, emotional, and moral growth are laid down. If they are not, it is true that a developing child can still acquire them, but the price rises and the chances of success decrease with each subsequent year. We cannot fail children in these early years."

"The Irreducible Needs of Children", by Stanley Greenspan and T. Barry Brazelton, Perseus Publishing, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2000
