Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every child should at least grow up in family rather than without one.
You have to see, kid by kid, what their needs are and what kind of parent you need to be for them.
Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.
The child inside of you knows how to take things as they come, how to deal most effectively and happily with everything and everyone it encounters on this planet. If you can recapture that childlike essence of your being, you can stay 'forever young at heart.'
I'm not a parent yet, but I feel like a kid needs to be loved.
Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.
Rich or poor, every child comes into the world with some imperative need of its own, which shapes its individuality.
Having children truly ends adolescence. We are all either parents or children: responsibility-takers or those who demand from others.
You have to be the parent; you can't be their friend.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
