Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.

Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.

I don't believe that children can develop in a healthy way unless they feel that they have value apart from anything they own or any skill that they learn. They need to feel they enhance the life of someone else, that they are needed. Who, better than parents, can let them know that?

Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.

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.

Hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.

Parents who expect change in themselves as well as in their children, who accept it and find in it the joy as well as the pains ofgrowth, are likely to be the happiest and most confident parents.

Silence is so powerful, so important. There is so much to be learned from it.
Fred Rogers
Image
Listening is a very active awareness of the coming together of at least two lives. Listening, as far as I'm concerned, is certainly a prerequisite of love. One of the most essential ways of saying 'I love you' is being a receptive listener.

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.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.

Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.

I don't think anyone can grow unless he's loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.
