Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take - over of our lives  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) Especially with our first child, we tend to take too much responsibility--both credit and blame--for everything. The more we wantto be good parents, the more we tend to see ourselves as making or breaking our children.  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) A sense of worthiness is a child’s most important need  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) Everything that happens is either a blessing, which is also a lesson, or a lesson which is also a blessing  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) We can see that the baby is as much an instrument of nourishment to us, as we are for him  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) The child does not begin to fall until she becomes seriously interested in walking, until she actually begins walking. Falling is thus more an indication of learning than a sign of failure  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes) We can see that the baby is as much an instrument of nourishment for us as we are for him  (Polly Berrien Berends Quotes)
