"The child does not belong to its parents, but to itself. It was not born to fulfil the expectations of its parents, but to become the being that is inherent in it. It is the parents' responsibility to make this possible."
The famous Swiss paediatrician and author Remo Largo has written many clever sentences about children and parenting. This quote from him is central to his work. We think so: We can't refer to his books and sayings often enough.
