The Greatest Gift That You Can Give

I Think Of Discipline As The Continual Everyday Process Of Helping A Child Learn Self-discipline.

I Feel So Strongly That Deep And Simple Is Far More Essential Than Shallow And Complex.

Love Begins With Listening.

The World Is Not Always A Kind Place. That's Something All Children Learn For Themselves, Whether We Want Them To Or Not, But It's Something They Really Need Our Help To Understand.

The Roots Of A Child's Ability To Cope And Thrive, Regardless Of Circumstance, Lie In That Child's Having Had At Least A Small, Safe Place (an Apartment? A Room? A Lap?) In Which, In The Companionship Of A Loving Person, That Child Could Discover That He Or She Was Lovable And Capable Of Loving In Return. If A Child Finds This During The First Years Of Life, He Or She Can Grow Up To Be A Competent, Healthy Person.
