When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.

Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do.

From their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.

I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents!
