For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.

The word 'comfort' comes from the Latin words for 'with' and 'strength' and originally meant operating from a position of power.

A 'school-at-home' approach to homeschooling is just decorating the electric chair in different colors.

The parent knows that the child cannot be artificially motivated to learn; they know that he is already motivated by the strongest driving force on earth: his inner intent.

We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers.

As a child, reality is whatever one makes of it.

And what does every child believe every adult capable of doing? Of actually being able to bend the world to an inner desire, exactly what the child is busily practicing in his passionate play.
