0 to 5 - A Special Age

The first 5 years are a special time - the intellectual, emotional and physical development of babies and young children is a wonder to watch. They are vulnerable and resilient at the same time. They are a pleasure, yet terribly demanding. They are our responsibility, but not our possessions.
