The child who acts unlovable is the child who most needs to be loved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.
It is never acceptable for us to be the cause of any child to feel unloved or worthless.
All children are born pure egoists. They perceive their needs to the exclusion of all others. Only through socialization do they learn that some forms of gratification must be deferred and others denied.
Whoever happens to give birth to mischievous children lives always with unending grief in his spirit and heart.
In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
Caring for children is a dance between setting appropriate limits as caretakers and avoiding unnecessary power struggles that result in unhappiness.
I don't think people who have children are acting selfishly or unselfishly. Having a child who'll be loved, to parents who love each other, is the important thing.
It is impossible to treat a child too well. Children are spoiled by being ignored too much or by harshness, not by kindness.
A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly.
