[Quote No.9705] Need Area: Friends > Children
"No one knows the true worth of a man but his family. The dreary man drowsing, drop-jawed, in the commuter train, the office bore, the taciturn associate--may be the pivot of a family's life, welcomed with hugs, told the day's news, asked for advice.
No longer Mr. B, but Dad. No longer a nonentity but a man possessed of skills and wisdom; courageous and capable, patient and kind. Respected and loved.

[Quote No.9706] Need Area: Friends > Children
"There are very good reasons for Dad to be there. They do not mother for one thing. They bring a different perspective of the world. They are different physical human beings. They tend to discipline a little differently. They tend to play a little more, they rough house, they tease, they help you deal with your frustrations, they don't always gratify your needs in the way you want, and yet this can help you feel that you're going to be OK when you're apart from your Mommy.

[Quote No.9722] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Suppose Bobby Jones or Mozart had not been allowed to begin his music or his golf until the other children did, or to practice or progress faster, or had only the instruction of a school class in music or physical education. Suppose they had been kept from playing with older children or adults in the fear that they might become socially maladjusted, kept from associating much with older musicians or golfers because that would be narrowing and undemocratic. Kept from public performance or tournaments because that would be exploiting the child! It surely may be questioned whether they would then have reached the prominence they did. Abuses in the afore-mentioned directions are, of course, possible. But, it is also an abuse to withhold opportunities from precocious youngsters who are eager to advance and excel.

Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.

[Quote No.9768] Need Area: Friends > Children
"When we talk of the millions who are culturally deprived, we refer not to those who do not have access to good libraries and bookstores, or to museums and centers for the performing arts, but those deprived of the words with which everything else is built, the words that opens doors. Children without words are licked before they start. The legion of the young wordless in urban and rural slums, eight to ten years old, do not know the meaning of hundreds of words which most middle-class people assume to be familiar to much younger children. Most of them have never seen their parents read a book or a magazine, or heard words used in other than rudimentary ways related to physical needs and functions. Thus is cultural fallout caused, the vicious circle of ignorance and poverty reinforced and perpetuated. Children deprived of words become school dropouts; dropouts deprived of hope behave delinquently. Amateur censors blame delinquency on reading immoral books and magazines, when in fact, the inability to read anything is the basic trouble. [ensuring your children can and do read is perhaps one of the most important things you can do to empower them]
