Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or undesirable:
“The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Excessive attention, even if it’s negative, is such a powerful “reward” to a child that it actually reinforces the undesirable behavior. You need to learn restraint, to respond to far fewer situations, to ask yourself questions like, “Is this really important?” “Could I let this behavior go?” “What would happen if I just wait?” “Could I lose by doing nothing?””
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
