Fear Responses

Famous quotes containing the words fear and/or responses:

“Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren’t go a-hunting
For fear of little men.”
—William Allingham (1824–1889)

“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
