Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or kids:
“Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience. We need to walk that middle ground between perfection and peerage, between intense meddling and apathy—the middle ground where our values, standards, and expectations can be shared with our children.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them.... Adolescence is not about letting go. It’s about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
