But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“If often he was wrong and at times absurd,
To us he is no more a person
Now but a whole climate of opinion.”
