“Love is at the root of all healthy discipline. The desire to be loved is a powerful motivation for children to behave in ways that give their parents pleasure rather than displeasure. it may even be our own long-ago fear of losing our parents love that now sometimes makes us uneasy about setting and maintaining limits. Were afraid well lose the love of our children when we dont let them have their way.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
