“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child.

—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“You factor in racism as a reality and you keep moving.”
