[Quote No.9526] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

"When people ask me what to do, I tell them to just give the child all the love that they can. Don't worry so much about anything else. And when it comes to discipline: never, never physically assault the child in any way, and certainly don't assault them with words, which can be just as cruel as physical punishment.

[Quote No.9538] Need Area: Friends > Children
"How often do parents discover, sometimes with mortification, that under stress they begin to sound just like their own mother or father? ... When we are perplexed, or confronted, by challenging parenting situations, it can be fruitful to ask ourselves: 'what was happening to me at the age that my child is now?'

[Quote No.9543] Need Area: Friends > Children
"I'd like you to imagine 300 students from our public high schools among us now. Three hundred students would fill about one third of this room. That's how many students will be attacked or robbed in our country during the ten minutes I'll be speaking to you. More than 17,000 every day -- more than half-a-million every month. Some 16 million adolescents in our country - including up to 95% of children in our inner cities - have witnessed some form of violent assault, including robbery, stabbing, shooting, murder, or domestic abuse. And adolescents in our country suffer the highest rates of murder and suicide among the 26 wealthiest nations.

[Quote No.9561] Need Area: Friends > Children
"...I struggled with the legacy of a family in which long lasting marriages were rarer than hen's teeth and parents often put their needs ahead of whatever children they had brought into the world. Long, unexplained absences of both my parents had left their mark on me, and when it came time to have children of my own, parenting had not come easily. Sensitivity had not been high on the list of my family's most valued character traits; plus, I was filled with the dogma of the seventies, the idea that children should not interfere with one's career. Mindlessly, I headed off to my office on the day I returned from the hospital. But my daughters gradually brought me around. They, who had never learned to conceal their hurts, taught me how to mother them. They schooled me in sensitivity until, finally, I began to find that terra firma that some people are born knowing and others are raised on.

[Quote No.9563] Need Area: Friends > Children
"People are divorced from nature, their time is polluted, they live in sprawling cities with no centers and few natural meeting places, neighborhoods that can barely be called neighborhoods--an environment that no longer nurtures children and which drives family life deeper into itself. To speak of these things as 'children's issues' is to consider them in their diminutive form and make them easier to dismiss. These are no more children's issues than they are solely women's issues. When I asked one father what he thought about the problem with children today, he responded: 'Is there a problem with children? I don't think so. I think there's a problem with us.'" - Richard Louv
in his book, 'Childhood's Future'.

"I think all of those good things about the sixties, all of that energy and ambition and revolution made us self-centered. I think for all the talk about doing things for community and changing the world, we are pretty self-centered people. Those of us who thought about career, who invested in career, that’s taken time away that from other generations of women would have given to family.
