« The infant needs the unconditional love and care of the mother, both physiologically and psychologically. After six years, the child begins to need the father's love, authority and guidance. The mother's task is to make him a confident being in life; the father, to serve as a guide to him to face the problems facing him in the particular society in which he was born. »
