Babies have an amazing potential for growth on many levels,
though they don't get very far on their own. The samurai
baby knows that parents or other caregivers are key
to growth, and takes steps to actively manage these
relationships. Engaging and controlling these people
are central to the Way of the baby.
Beginning with the eyes and mouth,
the samurai baby makes the most of its resources to
manage and communicate with the parent, while building
strength and taking in the surroundings. The power of
the gaze and the perfection of various types of noise
making are developed over time along with other techniques
and abilities. Tying all these together with a mastery
of timing and strategy, suited to the given situation,
is the sign of an accomplished samurai baby. Growth
does not occur in empty space, but is grounded in the
fullness of the moment
