ABSTRACT
Most people who work with young children are well aware that satisfactory growth depends on all aspects of their development being seen as a whole. At one time it was thought that if food and warmth, cleanliness, sleep and safety were adequate, this would ensure healthy early development. In the past the instinctive loving feelings of close adults for babies were often disregarded or actively discouraged, while the feelings of babies were hardly taken into account at all.
