Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or process:
“A man doesn’t have to have all the answers—children will teach him how to parent them, and in the process will teach him everything he needs to know about life.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion, Dennie, and Palmer Wolf. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
