I quote the whole article below by my good friend:

This is the the closing words of Dr.Fitzhugh Dodson in his book "how to parent",i find it quite beautifully written,so i post it here :
 
     A FINAL WORD
 
   This book has been full of the science of parenting.I hope it has also been full of common sense of parenting.To speak only of the science of parenting underestimates the intelligence of a mother.To speak only of the common sense of parenting overestimates the information of a mother.
 
   I want my closing word to be one which goes beyond both science and common sense.My closing word is a word of feeling . . . a word of love.
 
   The love of a mother for her child is more important than all of the scientific information she may acquire about how to raise that child.And the love of a mother for her child is more important than all the common sense she may have about how to raise that child.
 
   As Santayana puts it in one of my favorite sonnets:
 
       It is not wisdom to be only wise;
       And on the inward vision close the eyes.
       But it is wisdom to believe the heart.
 
   
    So mother,in the final analysis,believe your own heart!You may be unsure of how to handle some particular situation with your child.Science may tell u one thing n your own heart may tell you something else.Believe your own heart!Common sense may tell you one thing n your own heart may tell u another.Believe your own heart!
 
    People over thirty call it "heart." Those under thirty call it "soul." But whatever name u use,it is the same thing.Perhaps we should try to bridge the generation gap n call it "heart and soul." But "heart and soul," as anyone knows,is a code word for "love." So why don't we call it by that simple and universal word : love .
 
    Science is important in raising your child.Common sense is important also.But love is the most important of all.
 
         Science, common sense, and love. . .these three.
         But the greatest of these is love.
