Adele Faber

Famous quotes containing the words adele faber and/or faber:

    The mere existence of an additional child or children in the family could signify Less. Less time alone with parents. Less attention for hurts and disappointments. Less approval for accomplishments. . . . No wonder children struggle so fiercely to be first or best. No wonder they mobilize all their energy to have more or most. Or better still, all.
    Adele Faber (20th century)

    I was a wonderful parent before I had children. I was an expert on why everyone else was having problems with theirs. Then I had three of my own.
    —Adele Faber (20th century)
