THE FRENCH HAVE a saying: 'You can't go faster than the music'. They believe that a child will roll over, rise to his feet, become potty trained and start to talk when he's good and ready.

Be not afraid." As one who is no stranger to fear, I have had to read those words with care so as not to twist them into a discouraging counsel of perfection.
