Famous quotes containing the words control and/or behavior:
“To try to control a nine-month-olds clinginess by forcing him away is a mistake, because it counteracts a normal part of the childs development. To think that the child is clinging to you because he is spoiled is nonsense. Clinginess is not a discipline issue, at least not in the sense of correcting a wrongdoing.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mothers experience. . . . Her childs behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings dont match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
