Famous quotes containing the word kids:
“Take two kids in competition for their parents love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they dont dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and its not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. Theyll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And theyll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“They [creative children] ask more questions than most children. Theyre usually spontaneous and enthusiastic. Their ideas are unique and occasionally strike other kids as weird. Theyre independent. Not that they dont care at all what other kids think, but theyre able to do their thing despite the fact that their peers may think its strange. And they have lots and lots of ideas.”
—Silvia Rimm (20th century)
