Growth Stage

Famous quotes containing the words growth and/or stage:

    When I have plucked the rose,
    I cannot give it vital growth again,
    It needs must wither. I’ll smell it on the tree.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A method of child-rearing is not—or should not be—a whim, a fashion or a shibboleth. It should derive from an understanding of the developing child, of his physical and mental equipment at any given stage, and, therefore, his readiness at any given stage to adapt, to learn, to regulate his behavior according to parental expectations.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
