Lawrence Balter

Famous quotes containing the words lawrence balter, lawrence and/or balter:

    Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    Until that time comes I’ll live a thousand hopes, die a thousand times.
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney)

    You want to prepare your child to think as he gets older. You want him to be critical in his judgments. Teaching a child, by your example, that there’s never any room for negotiating or making choices in life may suggest that you expect blind obedience—but it won’t help him in the long run to be discriminating in choices and thinking.
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)
