“It has been played once more. I think you exist only
To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there

Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.”

“If the child knows the rewards and punishments in advance and knows that his parents will stick to them, the parents can actually empathize with the child’s plight while, at the same time, creating a firm sense of structure.... Your child will sense your resolve and your empathywhether you do this with words or just a sense of warmth.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
