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
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
When I was a boy I used to think that STRONG meant having big muscles, great physical power but the longer I live, the more I realize that real strength has much more to do with what is NOT seen. Real strength has to do with helping others.
Fred Rogers
There's no should or should not when it comes to having feelings. They're part of who we are and their origins are beyond our control. When we can believe that, we may find it easier to make constructive choices about what to do with those feelings.
Fred Rogers
The older I get, the more convinced I am that the space between people who are trying their best to understand each other is hallowed ground.
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
I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.
Fred Rogers
We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
Fred Rogers
Real strength has to do with helping others.
Fred Rogers
If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
Fred Rogers
Honesty is often very hard. The truth is often painful. But the freedom it can bring is worth the trying.
Fred Rogers
I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.
Fred Rogers
How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.
Fred Rogers
The purpose of life is to listen - to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God and, when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find ... from within and without.
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
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
Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.
Fred Rogers
Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.
Fred Rogers
Anything mentionable is manageable.
Fred Rogers
In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Fred Rogers
I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
