Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.
Children are not in a position to assess risk and safety; it must be done for them, and it must be done carefully.
I think we have a moral obligation to our children that can be easily summarized: number one, protect them from harm.
As much as you don't like disciplining your kids, you have to sometimes. Kids want that structure, that leadership, that guidance. I think that's what I try to give my children.
Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
Children need to trust and depend upon those who are responsible for them.
I think kids should have a mentor and a role model, but that they shouldn't take one person's opinion to be what we call final assessment or judgment about how life is supposed to be.
Children have in the past and continue to influence policy makers.
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.
The educator should do anything but advise the child to do what everybody does. He should rather rejoice when he sees in the child tendencies to deviation.
