Deaf Parents

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

    and the deaf soul
    struggles, strains forward, to lip-read what it needs:
    and something is said, quickly,
    in words of cloud-shadows moving and
    the unmoving turn of the road, something
    not quite caught ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    We can teach prevention. For little kids, the best protection is that they should not be alone in public places. All children should be conscious of strangers, and be discriminating and wary of them. This won’t make them grow up suspicious as long as they have adults around whom they know and can trust: relatives, friends of their parents, parents of friends.
    —“How Parents Can Talk to Their Kids,” Newsweek (January 10, 1994)
