Core Development

“How different it could be if we were to say to each other and to children, ‘we want to grow in harmony with you, what can we do?’

And at that point the adult world, either as individuals or groups, must just sit back and listen and feel, quietly, openly, compassionately.

The needs of children are no different than the needs of adults.

We all look for love, warmth, security and stability, and the searching for what is personally meaningful and enriching.

Perhaps one day we can put away the slogans, the revolutionary rhetoric, and get down to the business at hand

- to live life fully and to rear children in a stable and secure atmosphere.

Perhaps then we will see the changes in the world that we all hope for”
