Child Learns

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or learns:

    Whenever reality reinforces a child’s fantasied dangers, the child will have more difficulty in overcoming them...So, while parents may not regard a spanking as a physical attack or an assault on a child’s body, the child may regard it as such, and experience it as a confirmation of his fears that grown-ups under certain circumstances can really hurt you.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
