Text Quotes
You can bring your children under age 18 into the voting booth with you. Many families do so as a way to teach civic responsibility (Your Child Quotes)
I think parenthood is a wonderful balancing act. On the one hand, you want to spend as much time with your children as possible. On the other hand, you want to set an example for them to see that you’re fulfilled in your life and in your work (Your Child Quotes)
There are several methods for introducing your children to driving, and all of them are bad. Probably the worst is to put it off (Your Child Quotes)
There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you’d be, the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs, given the particulars of his or her own life and nature (Your Child Quotes)
The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn’t have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river (Your Child Quotes)
This was the tree, and it seemed to me standing there to resemble those men, the giants of your childhood, whom you encounter years later and find that they are not merely smaller in relation to your growth, but they are absolutely smaller, shrunken by age. In this double demotion the old giants have become pygmies while you were looking the other way (Your Child Quotes)
Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless (Your Child Quotes)
You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit (Your Child Quotes)
Don’t be a victim of the urgent. In the long run, much of what seems so pressing right now won’t even matter. What you do with your children will matter forever (Your Child Quotes)
You stayed around your children as long as you could, inhaling the ambient gold shavings of their childhood, and at the last minute you tried to see them off into life and hoped that the little piece of time you’d given them was enough to prevent them from one day feeling lonely and afraid and hopeless. You wouldn’t know the outcome for a long time (Your Child Quotes)
Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You’ll miss them forever (Your Child Quotes)
We’re taught to find the antecedents to our adult failures in childhood traumas, and so we spend our lives looking bacwards and pointing fingers, rather than bucking up and forging ahead. But what if your childhood was all a big misunderstanding? An elaborate ruse? What does that say about failure? Better yet, what does that say about potential? (Your Child Quotes)
If you’re lucky enough to fall in love, that’s one thing. Otherwise all that was ever truly beautiful to me was boyhood. It’s the meal we sup on for the rest of our lives. Love puts the icing on life. But if you don’t find it... you must call on your childhood memories over and over till you do (Your Child Quotes)
Remember the days when you let your child have some chocolate if he finished his cereal? Now, chocolate is one of the cereals (Your Child Quotes)
Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She’s beautiful; when you’re with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs on your door at odd hours, and she disappears for long stretches, and she has no patience for the rest of your existence; your wife, your children, your friends. She is the most thrilling evening of your week, but some day she will leave you for good. One night, after she’s been gone for years, you will see her on the arm of a younger man, and she will pretend not to recognize you (Your Child Quotes)
You can’t teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on (Your Child Quotes)
Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children’s most primitive fears (Your Child Quotes)
In teaching your child, do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character (Your Child Quotes)
Don’t get so involved in the duties of your life and your children that you forget the pleasure. Remember why you had children (Your Child Quotes)
Even if you yourself were unhappy and anxious, whenever you glimpsed happiness in your child, you suddenly became happy too (Your Child Quotes)
It’s amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it’s overrated, and I think it’s too hard. You should only love your children; that is necessary, because otherwise you might kill them. But to love a man? It’s overrated, and it’s too hard and I will never, ever do it again (Your Child Quotes)
Yet if there’s no reason to live without a child, how could there be with one? To answer one life with a successive life is simply to transfer the onus of purpose to the next generation; the displacements amounts to a cowardly and potentially infinite delay. Your children’s answer, presumably, will be to procreate as well, and in doing so to distract themselves, to foist their own aimlessness onto their offspring (Your Child Quotes)
It is a good thing to learn the truth one’s self. To first believe with all your heart, and then not to believe, is good too. It fattens the emotions and makes them to stretch. When as a woman life and people disappoint her, she will have had practice in disappointment and it will not come so hard. In teaching your child do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character (Your Child Quotes)
I mean, when the world comes for your children, with the knives out, it’s your job to stand in the way (Your Child Quotes)
If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money (Your Child Quotes)
The best time to give advice to your children is while they’re still young enough to believe you know what you’re talking about (Your Child Quotes)
We bequeath to you, the next generation, our knowledge but also our problems. While we still live, let us join hands, hearts and minds to work together for their solution so that your world will be better than ours and the world of your children even better (Your Child Quotes)
If we are to have faith that mankind will survive and thrive on the face of the earth, we must believe that each succeeding generation will be wiser than its progenitors. We transmit to you, the next generation, the total sum of our knowledge. Yours is the responsibility to use it, add to it, and transmit it to your children (Your Child Quotes)
You beg for happiness in life, but security is more important to you, even if it costs you your spine or your life. Your life will be good and secure when aliveness will mean more to you than security; love more than money; your freedom more than party line or public opinion; when your thinking will be in harmony with your feelings; when the teachers of your children will be better paid than the politicians; when you will have more respect for the love between man and woman than for a marriage license (Your Child Quotes)
Parenting tip: complement your child on something well done when they don’t think you are looking! (Your Child Quotes)
