Handling

Famous quotes containing the word handling:

    Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions.

    James P. Comer (20th century)

    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    That a good fit between parental handling and child temperament is vital to help children adapt to the imperatives of their society is a crucial concept that can be applied to other cultures.
    Stella Chess (20th century)
