Reaction Control

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or control:

“The excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
