Famous quotes containing the word set:

    “Setting limits gives your child something to define himself against. If you are able to set limits without being overly intrusive or controlling, you’ll be providing him with a firm boundary against which he can test his own ideas.”
    —Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
