Kids

Famous quotes containing the word kids:

    They [creative children] ask more questions than most children. They’re usually spontaneous and enthusiastic. Their ideas are unique and occasionally strike other kids as weird. They’re independent. Not that they don’t care at all what other kids think, but they’re able to do their thing despite the fact that their peers may think it’s strange. And they have lots and lots of ideas.
    Silvia Rimm (20th century)

    To be a good parent, separation is only half the picture. In our fragmented, supercharged, fast-paced world, figuring out how to stay connected to our kids is the real challenge—and the other half—of good parenting.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    Children are extraordinarily precious members of society; they are exquisitely alert, sensitive, and conscious of their surroundings; and they are extraordinarily vulnerable to maltreatment or emotional abuse by adults who refuse to give them the profound respect and affection to which they are unconditionally entitled.
    Wisdom of the Elders, quoted in Kids Are Worth It, by Barbara Coloroso, ch. 1 (1994)
