Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.

Boys and girls need chances to be around their father, to be enjoyed by him and if possible to do things with him. Better to play fifteen minutes enjoyably and then say, 'Now I'm going to read my paper' than to spend all day at the zoo crossly.

I wanted to be supportive of parents rather than to scold them. The book set out very deliberately to counteract some of the rigidities of pediatric tradition, particularly in infant feeding. It emphasized the importance of great differences between individual babies, of the need for flexibility and of the lack of necessity to worry constantly about spoiling.

Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.

I've come to the realization that a lot of our problems are because of a dearth of spiritual values.

If I could make only one wish for a child, I'd wish him the quality of lovingness.
