Tiffany’s Reviews > Loving Every Child: Wisdom for Parents > Status Update

“Children are not the people of tomorrow, but are people of today. They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect.”

“Is a nervous child the way she is because her parents are nervous, or because of the way she was brought up by them?…’Tell me who your parents are and I will tell you who you are.’
But not always.
‘Tell me who brought you up, and I will tell you who you are.’
This is also not quite true.”

I wish I’d have read this when Vern was a baby!!

“As a parent you say: ‘The child cries very little, she sleeps through the night.’ She is good-natured; she is a good child. A bad one is one who makes a fuss and a lot of noise and one who, for no apparent reason, evokes more unpleasant than pleasant emotions in her parents.

One must be careful not to confuse a good child with an easy one.”
