Parents don't come full bloom at the birth of the first baby. In fact parenting is about growing. It's about our own growing as much as it is about our children's growing and that kind of growing happens little by little.

More quotes by Fred Rogers
It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.
Fred Rogers
One of the greatest dignities of humankind is that each successive generation is invested in the welfare of each new generation.
Fred Rogers
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are....Ten seconds of silence.
Fred Rogers
Children who have learned to be comfortably dependent can become not only comfortably independent but also comfortable with having people depend on them. They can lean, stand, and be leaned upon, because they know what a good feeling it can be to feel needed.
Fred Rogers
We all have only one life to live on Earth, and through television we have the choice of encouraging others to demean this life or to cherish it in creative, imaginative ways.
Fred Rogers
What interests me so much about the characters of the Bible is that they make mistakes but God uses them anyway, in important ways. Nobody's perfect, but God can even use our imperfection.
Fred Rogers
A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved.
Fred Rogers
If your trusted and people will allow you to share their inner gardern...what better gift?
Fred Rogers
Perhaps we think that we won't find another human being inside that person. Perhaps we think that there are some people in this world who I can't ever communicate with, and so I'll just give up before I try. And how sad it is to think that we would give up on any other creature who's just like us.
Fred Rogers
I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
Fred Rogers
When we're able to resign ourselves to the wishes that will never come true, there can be enormous energies available within us for whatever we CAN do.
Fred Rogers
Silence is so powerful, so important. There is so much to be learned from it.
Fred Rogers
I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.
Fred Rogers
Some days, doing the best we can may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
Fred Rogers
Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.
Fred Rogers
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping. To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world
Fred Rogers
Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.
Fred Rogers
Hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
Fred Rogers
As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has-or ever will have-something inside that is unique to all time.
Fred Rogers
All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend the poet Kenneth Koch once said, You aren't just the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been!
Fred Rogers
