A Quote by Urie Bronfenbrenner

When you educate and develop your players, it is important they recognise you are sometimes crazy and a child and want to play football.

Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their child's approval, more alert to the child's emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the child's suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weapon--the power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.

In the first three years of life, the foundations of physical and also of psychic health are laid. In these years, the child not only increases in size but passes through great transformations.

I love child things because there's so much mystery when you're a child. When you're a child, something as simple as a tree doesn't make sense.

We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.
