When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

We don't teach our children how to dream.

I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.

We have been learning since we were children how to make money, buy things, build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think, not to feel.

Teachers need to be comfortable talking about feelings.

We teach teens what we think they ought to know, and we never tell them what they want to know.

You don't want to give kids an idea that they might not have thought of.

A kid should be told that you can have feelings.

We try to keep a good line of communication open with our children. It's not always about trying to just teach them every moment, but it's about listening to them and trying to understand them and gain that sense of communication so when they need to talk to someone, they know that we're there.
