They Are the Most Precious

You yourself are the child you must learn to know,
rear,
and above all
enlighten.

To demand that others should provide you with answers
is like asking a strange woman to give birth to your baby.

There are insights
that can be born
only
of your own pain,


and they
are the most precious.


Seek in your child
the undiscovered part of yourself.


Janusz Korczak
