Wooden Star

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or star:

    Whither went the lovely hoyden?
    Disappeared in blessed wife;
    Servant to a wooden cradle,
    Living in a baby’s life.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)
