[Quote No.20018] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Don't laugh at a child's ambitions. There is no sting so sharp as ridicule, and a laugh is often ridicule to a child. What a parent should do when he knows his child is overreaching, is to talk it over with him from every angle, and, if possible, find an angle from which the job can be attacked with hope of success. Then urge him forward, give him every encouragement. Above all, don't help your child to do something that he can accomplish on his own. Don't deny him the priceless privilege and thrill of developing his own success." - Dale Carnegie
(1888 - 1955) American writer and speaker, who wrote, 'How To Win Friends and Influence People' among other books

[Quote No.20098] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Many of the important skills that children need to acquire in early childhood - self-esteem [self-respect], social competence, desire to learn, self-discipline are not easily measured by standardized tests. As a result, social, emotional, moral, and physical development and learning are virtually ignored or given minor importance in schools with mandated testing programs. [They are therefore vitally important concepts for parents to instill in their children.]" - National Association For The Education Of Young Children

[Quote No.20116] Need Area: Friends > Children
"There are some tempers wrought up by habitual selfishness to an utter insensibility of what becomes of the fortunes of their fellow creatures, as if they were not partakers of the same nature or had no lot or connection at all with the species. [This lack of empathy separates them from their humanity and withers their ability to contribute positively to society and to be happy through this. As parents we can do few things more important than to develop this imaginative ability in ourselves and our children.]" - Lawrence Sterne

"Bestow thy youth so that thou mayest have comfort to remember it when it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof. While thou art young thou wilt think it will never have an end; but the longest day hath its evening, and thou shalt enjoy it but once; it never turns again; use it therefore as the spring - time, which soon departeth, and wherein thou oughtest to plant and sow all provisions for a long and happy life." - Sir Walter Raleigh

"You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all.

And even if only one good memory is left in our hearts, it may also be the instrument of our salvation one day." - Fyodor Dostoevski

"Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn - the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness." - Freya Stark

[Quote No.22134] Need Area: Friends > Children
"...your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children...The best thing we can do for our children is to consciously work at being role models for them. Teach them by your example, and they’ll remember and even try to imitate. Talk to them one way and then act contrary to your words, and you’ve lost a kid. Other than guiding them by example, there isn’t much we can do for them except to be around to pick them up whenever they fail. That’s not asking too much, is it?" - Og Mandino

[Quote No.22155] Need Area: Friends > Children
"To Any Little Boy’s Father [on the importance of example]
There are little eyes upon you, and they’re watching night and day,
There are little ears that quickly take in everything you say,
There are little hands all eager to do everything you do,
And a little boy who’s dreaming of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol; you’re the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind, about you no suspicions ever rise.
He believes in you devoutly, holds that all you say and do,
He will say and do in your way, when he’s grown up, just like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow who believes you’re always right,
And his ears are always open and he watches day and night,
You are setting an example every day in all you do,
For the little boy who’s waiting to grow up and be like you." - Unknown
