Quotes by Jane Isay (?)

“Unconditional love is the magic bridge that spans the generations: we love them unconditionally, and they love us back without reservations. It's a two-way experience. It grows the children and gentles the grandparents.”

“What’s the difference between encouragement from parents and from grandparents? When the nonjudgmental sense of being accepted as you are-not as your parents want or as your peers require- radiates from the gaze of a grandparent, it’s a confidence builder.”
