“…This is one thing one has to learn about children, you have to serve them. Really, when they are young you have to serve them, pay attention to them, but they should not exploit. Like your child, you remember, when he was travelling with me in the train I thought he was very demanding. All the time the mother had to talk to him, tell him some stories, do this. I said don’t do that, you are giving too much attention to the child, making too much out of him and that’s why he’s demanding to the child, making too much out of him and that’s why he’s demanding your attention all the time. No he must play. he has to play with himself, he has to be with himself and then he’ll improve…” 1985 Children and Other Topics, Perth
