The Importance of Early Training!

  "A mother's presence throughout infancy and the entire preschool stage is important because more learning takes place in the child's first five years than in any comparable period of life. Experts agree that as much as eighty-five percent of a child's character is developed by age five, and the way a child is raised in the early years accounts for at least twenty points of his IQ." - from A Mother's Heart: A Look at Values, Vision, and Character for the Christian Mother
