Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or family:

    When first we faced, and touching showed
    How well we knew the early moves ...
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    While each child is born with his or her own distinct genetic potential for physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, the possibilities for reaching that potential remain tied to early life experiences and the parent-child relationship within the family.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    Because it’s not only that a child is inseparable from the family in which he lives, but that the lives of families are determined by the community in which they live and the cultural tradition from which they come.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
