[10:23.26]If instead the mother said she was too busy to hold the little girl,
[10:28.58]the outcome would have been different.
[10:32.14]The infant's self-esteem is totally dependent on family members,
[10:38.30]and it is not until about the time the child enters school

[12:30.08]I read through them and I always come away feeling better."
[12:32.72]我总从中解脱出来,感受好多了."

[12:44.87]trust,and self-worth to each child
