"Hands constitute the infant's first connection to the world. Hands pick her up, lay her down, wash and dress her. What a different picture of the world an infant receives when quiet patient, careful yet secure and resolute hands take care of her- How different the world seems when these hands are impatient, rough or hasty, unquiet and nervous." Dr. Emmi Pikler
