Famous quotes containing the words parents and/or grandparents:
“If a child is feeling disappointed, angry, or afraid about something, you can be sympathetic and understanding. But you don’t need to get into your child’s shoes and become disappointed, angry, or afraid yourself. Parents help by standing by their children, not by taking over their children’s moods and feelings.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother.”
—Claudette Colbert (20th century)
