Famous quotes containing the word parents:
“Sometimes the children who are no problem to their parents should be looked at more closely. This is especially true if those children are extremely obedient and have few friends their own age. A good self-concept allows children to explore the world, risk engaging in conflict and failing. Children who play it safe by never disobeying or risking conflict may be telling you that they feel unqualified to face the world head-on.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Family is the first school for young children, and parents are powerful models.”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“As a child I was told by my parents that I was happy, but I did not believe them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
