Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or child:

    ... peace produced by suppression is neither natural nor desirable.
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)
