Treat A Child As Though He Already

Treat A Child As Though He Already Is The Person He's Capable Of Becoming.

If You Want Your Children To Improve, Let Them Overhear The Nice Things You Say About Them To Others.

Whenever I Hear About A Child Needing Something, I Ask Myself, 'is It What He Needs Or What He Wants?' It Isn't Always Easy To Distinguish Between The Two. A Child Has Many Real Needs Which Can And Should Be Satisfied. His Wants Are A Bottomless Pit. He Wants, For Example, To Sleep With His Parents. He Needs To Be In His Own Bed. At Christmas He Wants Every Toy Advertised On Television. He Needs Only One Or Two.

Many Teenagers Are Tormented By Terrors They Deem Private And Personal. They Do Not Know That Their Anxieties And Doubts Are Universal.

Responsibility Is Fostered By Allowing Children A Voice And Wherever Indicated A Choice In Matters That Affect Them.
