Parent Materials

Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or materials:

    “Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
    —Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)

    “In daily life what distinguishes the master is the using those materials he has, instead of looking about for what are more renowned, or what others have used well.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
