Ek kon nie kies watter quote om op my profile te sit nie. Wil hierdie ook net graag hier op sit, want dit is soooo waar!!
You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back. ~William D. Tammeus
Always kiss your children goodnight - even if they're already asleep. ~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
When you have brought up kids, there are memories you store directly in your tear ducts. ~Robert Brault
It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard
Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. ~Robert Fulghum
Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it. ~Haim Ginott
It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't. ~Barbara Kingsolver
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders. ~Abigail Van Buren
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy. ~Robert A. Heinlein
The beauty of "spacing" children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones - which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones. ~Sydney J. Harris
Do not ask that your kids live up to your expectations. Let your kids be who they are, and your expectations will be in breathless pursuit. ~Robert Brault
A parent's love is whole no matter how many times divided. ~Robert Brault
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ~Charles R. Swindoll
What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give. ~P.D. James
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others. ~Haim Ginott
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. ~Oscar Wilde
Kids spell love T-I-M-E. ~John Crudele
It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control. ~Charles Barkley
The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard. ~Sloan Wilson
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
