Famous quotes containing the words parents and/or grandparents:
“And those handmade presents that children often bring home from school: They have so much value! The value is that the child put whatever he or she could into making them. The way we parents respond to the giving of such gifts is very important. To the child the gift is really self, and they want so much for their selves to be acceptable, to be loved.”

“Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother.”
—Claudette Colbert (20th century)
