“If parents wish to preserve childhood for their own children, they must conceive of parenting as an act of rebellion against culture.”

“it's a wise parent who allows her children to give up the things of childhood in their own time.”

“If a child sees something in a parent that the child aspires to, he or she will copy that parent and be content. If a children feel that a parent is living a life that shows compassion and understanding, patience and love, that child will not have to reach a stage of rebellion against that parent. Why rebel against someone who has listened to you and wants to help you fufill your dreams? A parent who has proven time and again that growth and happiness of his or her children is priority number one does not have to worry about where these children are heading in life. They will be sensitive and productive members of society for as long as they live.”

“A parents wishes for their children shouldn't be to be as good as them but to surpass their own abilities and hopefully lead to a better world.”

“Parents who wish to train up their children in the way they should go must go in the way in which they would have their children go.”

“First we are children to our parents, then parents to our children, then parents to our parents, then children to our children”
