There is never a problem child; there is only a problem parent

I answered that one learns to live, not by hearing of other lives, but by living; for words are infinitely less important than acts.

Take from others what you want, but never be a disciple of anyone.

There is never a problem child; there is only a problem parent

The difficult child is the child who is unhappy. He is at war with himself; and in consequence, he is at war with the world.

Free children are not easily influenced; the absence of fear accounts for this phenomenon. Indeed, the absence of fear is the finest thing that can happen to a child.

The function of the child is to live his own life - not the life that his anxious parents think he should live.
