You must never lose that touch of childishness. You need it if you wish to write for children, if you wish to understand the heart of a child. Children are good, you see. And they expect good.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

I am too childlike to be immature.

It's so important to engage your kids to create rituals and moments that they will always remember.

In terms of the frustration of my character, I suppose any teenager has probably gone through that, in terms of telling their parents, I want to do one thing, and their parent says no. I think parents sometimes forget that they were children.

I don't think you should reprimand your child for everything you're feeling because for them it's as serious as when something happens in our day and we get upset about it.

It is better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.

The traits the word 'childish' addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.

You can't be too careful what you tell a child because you never know what he'll take hold of and spend the rest of his life remembering you by.
