[Quote No.9579] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Parents are prone to give their children everything except the one thing they need the most. That is time: time for listening, time for understanding, time for helping and time for guiding. It sounds simple but in reality it is the most difficult, and the most sacrificial task of parenthood.

[Quote No.9587] Need Area: Friends > Children
"When you talk to young girls these days about their role models, very few mention a chemist like Madame Curie, or an astrophysicist and astronaut like Sally Ride, or a zoologist like Jane Goodall. Instead, they look to someone like Madonna, whose inspiring achievement in life is to parade around in her underwear while proclaiming herself to be a 'material girl.' And people wonder why the country's in trouble." - Wynetka Ann Reynolds

[Quote No.9588] Need Area: Friends > Children
"If we want our children to spend time with us, to like us, to confide in us, to value some of the things we value, and to try to make us happy (for example, by refraining from the use of dangerous drugs), we must behave toward them in ways that create feelings of love toward us rather than feelings of dislike or anger. We cannot reasonably expect to receive 'good' behavior from our children unless we create 'good' feelings in them." - Dr. Sidney Craig

[Quote No.9591] Need Area: Friends > Children
"If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.

[Quote No.9610] Need Area: Friends > Children
"The hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or, again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.

[Quote No.9619] Need Area: Friends > Children
"In the life of children there are two very clear-cut phases, before and after puberty. Before puberty the child's personality has not yet formed and it is easier to guide its life and make it acquire specific habits of order, discipline, and work: after puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious, tyrannical, insufferable. Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late: then of course the stick and violence enter the scene and yield very few results indeed. Why not instead take an interest in the child during the first period?

[Quote No.9625] Need Area: Friends > Children
"When a child first catches an adult out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods; they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.

[Quote No.9626] Need Area: Friends > Children
"And as a few strokes on the nose will make a puppy head shy, so a few rebuffs will make a boy shy all over. But whereas a puppy will cringe or roll on its back, grovelling, a little boy may cover his shyness with nonchalance, with bravado, or with secrecy. And once a boy has suffered rejection, he will find rejection even where it does not exist -- or worse, will draw it forth from people simply by expecting it.

[Quote No.9627] Need Area: Friends > Children
"The gift of space is sometimes invaluable, something as simple as giving your child some occasional 'mental health' days off from school. Educators may be angry at me for suggesting days off, but I have seen how grateful children can be when they have been given the space to relax and figure things out. (Such a day is not to watch television. It is for sleeping late and having parent and child spend a different kind of day together.) Such days enable many kids to rediscover their courage. I think of it as providing space for development." - Michael Thompson
