View Group

Famous quotes containing the words view and/or group:

    “Since mothers are more likely to take children to their activities—the playground, ballet or karate class, birthday parties—they get a chance to see other children in action.... Fathers usually don’t spend as much time with other people’s kids; because of this, they have a narrower view of what constitutes “normal” behavior, and therefore what should or shouldn’t require parental discipline.”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)

    “Remember that the peer group is important to young adolescents, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Parents are often just as important, however. Don’t give up on the idea that you can make a difference.”
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.5 (1985)
