Imagi-Natives: ...for an imaginative life!

[Quote No.40052] Need Area: Friends > Children
"[The way children are treated can have very significant ramifications later in life. For example, unless traumatised children learn ways to overcome their negative childhood experiences, the odds are that] Those children who are beaten will in turn give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder." - Alice Miller
Quote from 'For Your Own Good' (1983).

[Quote No.40053] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Anyone who has ever been a mother or father and is at all honest knows from experience how difficult it can be for parents to accept certain aspects of their children. It is especially painful to have to admit this if we really love our child and want to respect his or her individuality..." - Alice Miller

[Quote No.48215] Need Area: Fun > Gratitude
"Positively thankful: Daily gratitude changes brain, psychologist says: ... The comments of gratitude are counter to the typical human reaction to experiences, [psychologist Kevin] Dohr said. People naturally have a negativity bias because of survival instincts that bring negatives to the fore of consciousness, he said. However, brains get better at things through practice and can change because of their neuroplasticity, or ability to be reshaped over time... Hence pausing at some point during the day and saying or writing down at least one thing that went well or something for which people are grateful is like the brain lifting positive weights. People often keep gratitude journals, meditate, enumerate positives in prayers or say thanks around the dinner table. During workshops, Dohr said, he sometimes has participants write gratitude letters, then meet with the letters’ recipients to read them aloud. 'So there are different ways to do it, but the main thing is to just stick with it long enough,' he said, adding that after two to three months being grateful will become a habit rather than an exercise." - Alice Miller
