Another way of thinking about it is instead of thinking of babies and children as being like defective grownups, we should think about them as being a different developmental stage of the same species -- kind of like caterpillars and butterflies -- except that they're actually the brilliant butterflies who are flitting around the garden and exploring, and we're the caterpillars who are inching along our narrow, grownup, adult path.
Outra forma de velo é, en lugar de pensar nos bebés e os nenos coma adultos incompletos, pensar neles coma seres nun estado de desenvolvemento distinto da mesma especie; coma os casulos e as bolboretas. Pero os bebés serían as bolboretas que borbolean polo xardín explorando, e nós seriamos os casulos encerrados no noso estreito camiño de adultos.
