childhood

I would like to do more in appreciating the mindset of the child. Maybe it has something to do with taking ourselves very seriously and with great disregard, as well as having a healthy does of awe and doubt for all else.

The zeal of kids is to explore! Until you know how to sustain the real interest of your child, the real interest of your child shall be sustained by something else!

Modern humans are taught from the childhood that they are weak and sinners. Teach them that they are embodiment of glory and children of immortal strength. Eventually a society full of bravehearts will rise.

The phrase __oys will be boys,_ reflects that a male child is expected to be unpredictable and occasionally troublesome.

Because a child is bound to grow, society is intent upon cultivating the child__ mind to mature into a very specific type of responsible person. Children take great pleasure in small things that have no practical purpose in their dreamy world where they can be as wild as wind. Each year a part of the child dies, as it is burden with adult responsibilities.

Fairytales are healthy for the children. As they grow up, the magical thinking wears off, but the fairytale-induced creative brain circuits stay forever.

Your child is least interested in what the report card says. All that matters to him / her is what you say on seeing the report card.

Teach the children compassion and empathy, for all creatures are born selfish.

To make a child laugh, you don__ have to do something spectacular because they have already the ability to make themselves happy almost out of nothing!

This framing accents the importance of building a tidier system, one that incorporates the array of existing child care centers, then pushes to make their classrooms more uniform, with a socialization agenda "aligned" with the curricular content that first or second graders are expected to know. Like the common school movement, uniform indicators of quality, centralized regulation, more highly credientialed teachers are to ensure that instruction--rather than creating engaging activities for children to explore--will be delivered in more uniform ways. And the state signals to parents that this is now the appropriate way to raise one's three- or four-year-old. Modern child rearing is equated with systems building in the eyes of universal pre-kindergarten advocates--and parents hear this discourse through upbeat articles in daily newspapers, public service annoucement, and from school authorities.

The happiness of childhood, the calming of a child's fears and the healthy development of its self-confidence depend directly upon love.

Every time we see a child we travel back to the times we have forgotten and we bitterly visit all the beautiful things taken from us in the name of being an adult!

She wished for a moment that they were all children again. It still seemed extraordinary to her, that everything had turned out the way it had.

My child reflect the treatment I give.

Only children simply accept the fact that their parents have the right to make choices for them. Even disobedient children never question the fact that their parents have that right. They may choose to flout the rules, but they don't question their parents' right to make those rules.

On the stairs he was crying so much he hardly saw where he was going - not a mad boo-hoo but wailing sheets of tears, shaken into funny groans by the bump of each step as he hurried down.

It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.

The path of development is a journey of discovery that is clear only in retrospect, and it__ rarely a straight line.
