Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.
The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it.
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
The world today is changing rapidly, and we are helping to make it better for our children's future.
All our efforts to guard and guide our children may just get in the way of the one thing they need most from us: to be deeply loved yet left alone so they can try a new skill, new slang, new style, new flip-flops. So they can trip a few times, make mistakes, cross them out, try again, with no one keeping score.
Each kid is unique in what captures their attention and their passion.
Children from a given family background, when put in schools of different social compositions, will achieve at quite different levels.
If parents could just get their children moving around in the most simple and fun ways - jumping in leaves, dancing to pop music, throwing socks in a laundry basket - they could be sowing the seeds of great habits that could last a lifetime. It is all about turning it into a game.
I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house; they want places to play.
While children are struggling to be unique, the world around them is trying all means to make them look like everybody else.
