A child needs encouragement like a plant needs water.

A misbehaving child, is a discouraged child

When a child makes a mistake or fails to accomplish a certain goal, we must avoid any word or action which indicates that we consider him a failure. 'Too bad that didn't work.' 'I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.' We need to separate the deed from the doer.

Man does not see reality as it is, but only as he perceives it, and his perception may be mistaken or biased.

We cannot protect our children from life. Therefore, it is essential to prepare them for it. Feeling sorry for children is one of the most seriously damaging attitudes we can have. It so greatly demonstrates to them and to ourselves that we lack faith in them and their ability to cope with adversities.

Perfection never exists in reality, but only in our dreams.

A great many people fall in love with or feel attracted to a person who offers the least possibility of a harmonious union.
