What do you want in your life? What do you want in your relationships? And if you say, I'd like them to be harmonious; I'd like them to be free; I'd like not to be in a state of blame all the time or shame.

Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it.

Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.
