Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Not only is our love for our children sometimes tinged with annoyance, discouragement, and disappointment, the same is true for the love our children feel for us.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“... all children have creative power.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“It is neither possible nor desirable to be always attuned to the moods of children because this thwarts their need to test and enrich their individuality by standing up to adult authority. What is possible and desirable is to cultivate an attitude of partnership: to be willing to listen, acknowledge that parents and children at times have different goals, try to reconcile the differences, and agree to disagree if this is not possible.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
