In Ethiopia... you might find a seven-year-old expected to take 15 goats out into the fields for the whole day with only a chapati to eat and his whistle. Why are we so afraid to give our children responsibilities like this?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One thing I think kids need to do is more chores, and take care of their own rooms. Responsibilities are really important to start them with. If they have animals, they have to feed them and care for them. That's the only way I think I could do it.
Children need to trust and depend upon those who are responsible for them.
In other countries, it's a common thing to have outcast children running around the streets in packs, and I don't think we're so far away from it here.
Children are the world's future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.
I think that the reason why 'Goats' is called 'Goats' is because you can't give direction to goats. They do what they want. That's the point of this film.
Tired of nagging your kids to hurry up, get dressed, drink their milk and brush their teeth? Here's a radical idea: Don't.
Children are not in a position to assess risk and safety; it must be done for them, and it must be done carefully.
I've got four kids to feed and a wife to provide for. It's a worry but a great responsibility as well and one I relish.
Children are a house's enemy. They don't mean to be - they just can't help it. It's their enthusiasm, their energy, their naturally destructive tendencies.
Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.
