[Quote No.10363] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Parents who use good communication skills are, at the same time, teaching their children to use good skills. When parents use angry or hostile words, their children do too. Often parents cause the very behaviors they don't want in their children. In short, they reap what they sow." - Joe Hasenstab

[Quote No.10594] Need Area: Friends > Children
"The biggest problem I had - and the biggest problem teenagers have - is not how they dress, how they look or how they act or talk. It's how they see themselves - their self-esteem. In the tenth grade, I realized I am who I am. I've got big ears and big feet. I can either sulk around or I can be happy with who I am. The minute I decided to be confident with who I was, all that other stuff stopped. It's all in the way you carry yourself. " - Unknown

[Quote No.11006] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Boredom will always remain the greatest enemy of school disciplines. If we remember that children are bored, not only when they don't happen to be interested in the subject or when the teacher doesn't make it interesting, but also when certain working conditions are out of focus with their basic needs, then we can realize what a great contributor to discipline problems boredom really is. Research has shown that boredom is closely related to frustration and that the effect of too much frustration is invariably irritability, withdrawal, rebellious opposition or aggressive rejection of the whole show.

[Quote No.11555] Need Area: Friends > Children
"As an avid home gardener and a mother of adopted children, I'm often struck with the parallels between these two absorbing lifetime occupations - plants and children. We their nurtures provide the best home and the most growth-nurturing care that we know and are capable of at the time. But in the end, they both are going to do what they need to do.

[Quote No.12382] Need Area: Friends > Children
"The poor and the affluent are not communicating because they do not have the same words. 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 open 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. " - Peter S. Jennison
