Quote by Asuni LadyZeal

“Children tend to rate tasks by how much discomfort it causes them and would literally be comfortable with doing badly on such tasks no matter how simple it seems or is portrayed by others. There is a cycle called the cycle of resistance that explains this. If a task or chore causes children or even adults to struggle emotionally or physically, it always takes extra effort to beat this disdain that they consciously or unconsciously associate with it.”

“You can't discipline a child you hate. You however can punish such a child. Discipline has a positive tone to it so much that you have to love that child to the point where your respect for him shows through. Punishment on the other hand is fueled by anger and pain and that's why punishment is the easiest way for an angry parent or teacher even, to deal with a child or student. And worse, it always causes a strain on the relationship, can cause some stress in both parties and a tension that can last a lifetime.”

“Within a minute he had squirmed down feet foremost into this cellar, to explore. The phantom cat had long since gone by another hole between the stones, through which he could see into the garden. He could find no other opening. Roots of ivy thrust into the ground among the masonry; tendrils of ivy with bright, pale leaves had trailed in through the holes. There were slug tracks on the floor and walls. A dead centipede was phosphorescent in a corner. 'What a lovely place,' Kay thought. 'I shall be able to come here always and have it for my cave. I’ll bring bread and ham here. I’ll keep a catapult here. Perhaps I’ll run away some evening and sleep here. I wish I could get one of those lanterns with colored lights; that would be just the thing for here.”

“While, in adult life, people’s beliefs and desires are always clashing against the relentless reality, for children, the boundary between believing and being is easily transgressed. Protected from the real world by adults, children can move between realism and fantasy without suffering consequences. Peter Pan knows this well: “I just want always to be a little boy and to have fun.”

“Did Abel used to threaten you and Dad with El Cuco?" Her uncle nodded. "Did she ever say what he looked like?" He shook his head. "That used to scare me more, not knowing what he was. Childhood imaginations are powerful things." "Not as powerful as a mother's threat." Javier heard his voice like it was coming from someone else. He had planned to stay quiet. Now the light beam was on him again. "Nothing is more powerful than that, son.”

“You don't know, Javier, you can't know what it's like to see your baby, your only baby, slipping away. You have all these hopes when you hold this perfect swaddled creature in your arms, you imagine academic awards, nice little friends, Ivy League colleges, marriage to a girl from a good family, grandchildren. And then one day, you realize you have no control, that any control you thought yo had was an illusion. You realize you don't know how to save them as they teeter on the edge. We were all feeling that, all of the mothers. And then I found you with all those...drugs." She shuddered. "That night, we would've tried anything to get you all back. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he came. In order to see you, I would've sold my soul to el diablo if he were there that night. I guess he was" She looked at the floor and started to cry. "We just wanted to scare you. He was a fairy-tale monster. Never, never in a million years did we expect him to come, for him to...”
