[Quote No.9630] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Invite your children to voice their feelings. This is an obvious but easily forgotten step when it come to soothing a child who has been the subject of hurtful jabs. Often we want so badly to jump in and fix the situation that we forget to stop and let out child simply talk.

[Quote No.9642] Need Area: Friends > Children
"The evolution of culture is ultimately determined by the amount of love, understanding and freedom experienced by its children... Every abandonment, every betrayal, every hateful act towards children returns tenfold a few decades later upon the historical stage, while every empathic act that helps a child become what he or she wants to become, every expression of love toward children heals society and moves it in unexpected, wondrous new directions.

[Quote No.9660] Need Area: Friends > Children
"I did not have my mother long, but she cast over me an influence which has lasted all my life. The good effects of her early training I can never lose. If it had not been for her appreciation and her faith in me at a critical time in my experience, I should never likely have become an inventor. I was always a careless boy, and with a mother of different mental calibre, I should have turned out badly. But her firmness, her sweetness, her goodness, were potent powers to keep me in the right path. My mother was the making of me. The memory of her will always be a blessing to me.

"By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was: indulgent, never. Kind, yes; permissive never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.

[Quote No.9674] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Said the little boy, 'Sometimes I drop my spoon.' Said the old man, 'I do that too.' The little boy whispered, 'I wet my pants.' 'I do that too,' laughed the old man. Said the little boy, 'I often cry.' The old man nodded, 'So do I.' 'But worst of all,' said the boy, 'it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me.' And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. 'I know what you mean,' said the old man." - Shel Silverstein

"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own.

[Quote No.9683] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Being pregnant is like walking over a plank and cable bridge. Behind me, on one bank, is the tribe of women who are not mothers. They drink coffee, stay up late, skip meals, plan careers, change lovers, study Sanskrit, and write grant proposals for a five-year study of tropical cloud forests. In front of me, on the other bank, is the tribe of mothers. They arrive late, leave early, are badly in need of haircuts, talk a lot about nap schedules, know way too much about guinea pigs, and have to hang up now.

"We have scarcely gotten home … when our children’s sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all day to do so. There is the bellyache and the burned-out basement bulb, the stalled car and the incontinent cat. The windows frost, the toilets sweat, the body of our spouse is one cold shoulder and the darkness of our bedroom is soon full of the fallen shadows of our failures.
