Dr. Suzuki firmly believed that parents have the responsibility to nurture their children’s potential from the moment of birth, as a part of everyday life. Therefore it follows that a child’s earliest learning is the most critical-the learning that takes place before beginning school. Parents must take great care in creating a loving and sensitive environment, which enables children to learn skills that will help them achieve their potential.Taken from Suzuki Early Childhood-Prenatal through Early Years: Stage One, used with permission from Dorothy Jones & Jones Partnership.
