We always like to keep our children in a kind of bubble and censor the bad news about the world. We like to tell them the world is full of benevolent, nice people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
We have got to work on keeping these children engaged with the world.
I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.
I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
My children just want to get at the world; it is so pleasantly surprising to witness that.
World's children cannot wait any longer. While international community debates and issues recommendations, statements and fine speeches, world's children - marginalised, socially excluded, poor and vulnerable - continue to suffer.
I like children; I like 'em, and I respect 'em. Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by them.
We owe it to our children to be honest about the world and to provide them with material written specially for them.
Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.
