Famous quotes containing the words parents and grandparents, parents and/or grandparents:
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Family is the first school for young children, and parents are powerful models.”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“It is strange but true that although we may have learned all sorts of important facts while raising our own children, when we become grandparents we still tend to forget a whole lot of things we knew.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
