sacrificed in larger institu tionalized nurseries Children need to see the place as their home she said Rules are partandparcel of growing up she says and she never enforced rules unless they were practical and understandable had simple rules just wouldnt let them disturb the other children Nothing stringent about that And she made rapport little easier by letting the children call her and the
