Famous quotes containing the word children:
“One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“Important as fathers are, their influence on children shouldn’t be exaggerated just because they were ignored so long. There is no evidence that there is something especially good about fathers as caretakers. There are no areas where it can be said that fathers must do certain things in order to achieve certain outcomes in children. The same goes for mothers.”
—Michael Lamb (late–20th century)
