“Two drivers of formative human development are love and anxiety. Love is the primary nutrient in the ecology of the child. And the quality of that love is important to the reduction of anxiety. "Love," says Chilean biologist Humberto Maturana, "is the only emotion that expands intelligence." Anxiety," child development author Joseph C. Pearce observes, "is the great crippler of intelligence. Love is the only emotion that expands intelligence. Anxiety is the great crippler of intelligence.” ~Raffi Cavoukian
