Affectionate Behavior

Famous quotes containing the words affectionate and/or behavior:

    You know I won’t turn over a new leaf I am so obstinate, but then I am no less obstinate in being your affectionate Husband.
    William Hogarth (1697–1764)

    Excessive attention, even if it’s negative, is such a powerful “reward” to a child that it actually reinforces the undesirable behavior. You need to learn restraint, to respond to far fewer situations, to ask yourself questions like, “Is this really important?” “Could I let this behavior go?” “What would happen if I just wait?” “Could I lose by doing nothing?”
    Stanley Turecki (20th century)
