A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
Young people need models, not critics.
Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.
Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
Blaze your own trail in life. Make your own choices and make your own mistakes. It’s the only way you’ll find your own happiness, not someone else’s.
A child’s mental health is just as important as their physical health.
Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
Children require long, uninterrupted periods of play and exploration.
I believe in humanity. We are an incredible species. We’re still just a child creature, we’re still being nasty to each other. And all children go through those phases. We’re growing up, we’re moving into adolescence now. When we grow up – man, we’re going to be something!
A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all.
What a child can do today with assistance, she will be able to do by herself tomorrow.
Childhood is the one story that stands by itself in every soul.
Children are not vessels to be filled but lamps to be lit.
When I get older, I will be stronger.
Growth hurts because change isn’t easy, that’s why they call it growing pains.
Make your own decisions. Make your own choices.
There are no perfect parents, and there are no perfect children, but there are plenty of perfect moments along the way.
Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better.
