PARENTING |
|
It is the wise parent that gives his
child roots and wings. ~Chinese Proverb
All that I am or hope to be I owe to my Mother.
~Abraham Lincoln Children are likely to live up to what you believe of
them. ~Lady Bird Johnson Having a child is to forever have your heart go
walking outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone Children need love, especially when they do not
deserve it. One laugh of a child will make the holiest day more
sacred still. ~Robert Ingersoll |

Children begin by loving their parents After a time they judge them. Rarely, if ever, Do they forgive them.
~O.Wilde |
Cleaning and
Scrubbing can wait ‘til tomorrow-- For babies grow
up we’ve learned to our sorrow, So quiet down
cobwebs, dust go to sleep I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep. |

The trouble with being a parent is that by the time
we’re experienced, we’re unemployed. The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s
attention is to sit down and look comfortable. Children of all ages have one thing in common—they
close their ears to advice and open their eyes to example. A small boy’s definition of conscience: something that
makes you tell your mother before your sister does. Little children are the symbol of the eternal marriage
between love and duty. ~G.Elliot Parenting means bringing children up without putting
them down. A child regards your cheery smile as evidence that you
are on his side, so he relaxes and is happier. Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was
born in another time. ~Rabbinic Saying Cleaning your house while your children are growing is
like shovelling the walk before it stops snowing. Youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
~Shakespeare Christmas is too large to be tucked away in the toe of
a child’s stocking. ~H.Kenneth Meyer Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes
friends with its grandfathers. Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a
mother. ~Lin Yutang It is a wise father who knows his own child. ~William
Shakespeare Youth fades, love drops, the leaves of friendship
fall; a mother’s secret hope outlives them all.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Beauty is the child of love.
~H.Ellis The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity.
~B. Disraeli Motherhood is
like the Peace Corps -- it’s the hardest job you’ll ever love.

Her child will spend the night in
jail.
My child is well,
and safe. Her child has
been beaten by a soldier. My child will be
a soldier. Her child is
inspired to defy. My child is
required to obey. ~Nancy
Nachum;
Jerusalem, Isreal

Toddler’s
Creed
If I give it to
you and change my mind later, it’s mine If I can take it
away from you, it’s mine. If I had it a
little while ago it’s mine. If it’s mine, it
will never belong to anybody else, no matter what. If we are
building something together, all the pieces are mine. If it looks just like mine, it is mine. |
