Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.

I enjoy meeting not only contemporary children, but yesterday's children as well. It's nice to talk about the experiences we shared, they tell me, 'You were a good friend.' That's the warmest part.

Let me introduce myself. My name is, uh, Kangaroo... Kangaroo - Captain Kangaroo ... I'm the keeper here of the Treasure House.

Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.

A child needs to be listened to and talked to at 3 and 4 and 5 years of age. Parents should not wait for the sophisticated conversation of a teenager.

The children should never be excluded from what I am doing and should never have the feeling of being part of an audience.

Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.
