Famous quotes containing the words children and/or exposed:
“It’s likely that adults from the caveman on have created their own fantasies of what children ought to be like and naturally have been convinced that’s precisely how as children they themselves were.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
