I believe that children are, by nature, very forgiving. I don't think children expect their parents to be perfect. I think they demand that their parents be real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 think some parents fall into a trap, teaching their kids that everything is always perfect and everyone is always a winner.
I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
Parents have no greater responsibility in this world than the bringing up of their children in the right way, and they will have no greater satisfaction as the years pass than to see those children grow in integrity and honesty and make something of their lives.
Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we're not perfect.
I think it's always natural for children to rebel against their parents and establish their own identity. And also, I think parents get invested in, you know, doing the right thing? And so their anxiety about being good parents might, in a way, affect a relationship negatively.
Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
