Famous quotes containing the words family and/or children:
“You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Unconditional love is loving your kids for who they are, not for what they do.... I don’t mean that we like or accept inappropriate behavior, but with unconditional love we love the children even at those times when we dislike their behavior. Unconditional love isn’t something you will achieve every minute of every day. But it is the thought we must hold in our hearts every day.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
