I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.

One of the many interesting and surprising experiences of the beginner in child analysis is to find in even very young children a capacity for insight which is often far greater than that of adults.

The greatest thing you can give a child is confidence.

When given age-appropriate challenges, children tend to take them very seriously; in fact, the more obvious the risk is, the more cautiously a child will proceed.

Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.

Observation, very general and wide-spread, has shown that small children are endowed with a special psychic nature. This shows us a new way of imparting education!

Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.

Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

One seeks to equip the child with deeper, more gripping, and subtler ways of knowing the world and himself.

Children don't make judgments about which details are important... a child captures them all.
