Childcare Quotes

“The business world tells us to focus on what we're best at and delegate or outsource the rest. However, this doesn't work with all your roles, or in every situation you may find yourself in. For example, when applied to parenting, nobody can replace YOU as the parent, not even your spouse. You must act within that role, even if you aren't very good at it, because nobody else can truly take your place.”

“A reporter once asked me why I think progressive men who earn significantly less than their breadwinning wives still won't quit their jobs to take care of their children. Why do they still hold on to their careers, even if taking care of the children would make more financial sense because the cost of childcare is higher than their net salary? I think I know the answer to that now, and it sucks. Women are not expected to live a life for themselves. When women dedicate their lives to children, it is deemed a worthy and respectable choice. When women dedicate themselves to a passion outside of the family that doesn't involve worshiping their husbands or taking care of their kids, they're seen as selfish, cold, or unfit mothers. But when a man spends hours grueling over a craft, profession, or project, he's admired and seen as a genius. And when a man finds a woman who worships him, who dedicates her life to serving him, he's lucky. But when a man dedicates himself to taking care of his children it's seen as a last resort. That it must be because he ran out of other options. That it's plan Z. That it's an indicator of his inability to provide for his family. Basically, that he's a fucking loser. I think it's one of the most important falsehoods we need to shatter when talking about women's rights.”

“For a baby to thrive she or he has to be more than fed and kept clean. She or he needs to be held and to be engaged with as a living baby. This last thought might sound a bit mad. Of course a baby is alive. But if a baby receives only perfunctory care, if her or his needs for food and water and changing are met in a production-line manner, as happened for the many abandoned babies in the Romanian orphanes after Ceausescu was toppled, she or he may not thrive; she may die.”

“((طلاق)) یک اتفاق سخت و ناراحت کننده است. اگر سعی کنید آن را طوری جلوه دهید که گویی مشکل کوچکی است یا تاثیر عاطفی چندانی ندارد، در واقع ارزش زندگی خانوادگی خود را که تا آن روز با هم داشته اید زیر سوال می برید. همچنین این کار توهینی است به توانایی و شهامت کودک تان در ((درک)) اهمیت این اتفاق.”

“When we combine very real workplace inequalities with these romantic opt-out stories, the idea that "having it all" is a laughable goal becomes enshrined as immutable truth. And when we portray opting out as a simple matter of "choice," we ignore the systematic problems that make combining work and motherhood so difficult.”

“I am truly, finally done. I love the DeVitos, and I hope I stay in contact with them, but going back has made me realize I made the right decision. The past couple of years have given me a lot of valuable experience. But sometimes I think if I had to do it all over again, I am not sure I would have. The pain of leaving the kids was so much greater than I ever imagined. I just didn't put enough thought into the good-byes.”

“The problem is that the media rarely discusses the real reasons behind why women leave their jobs. We hear a lot about the desire to be closer to the children, the love of crafting and gardening, and making food from scratch. But reasons like lack of maternity leave, lack of affordable day care, lack of job training, and unhappiness with the 24/7 work culture-well, those aren't getting very much airtime.”

“Mother Nature, mothers, grandmothers - yes, even fathers, and grandfathers - are the best doctors around, because they do not share the typical doctor's compulsion to interfere with the body's efforts and ability to heal itself.”

“Your most important contribution to the future health of your child will be the attention you give to your own diet during pregnancy and to proper nutrition for your baby after he is born.”

“زمانی که به کودک می گوییم او نمی فهمد چه حس می کند، نه تنها او را از دفاع طبیعی اش محروم کرده ایم، بلکه او را گیج، بی حس،و سردرگم بار می آوریم. او را مجبور می کنیم دنیایی غیر واقعی از کلمات، و سیستم های دفاعی ای بسازد که هیچ ارتباطی با واقعیت های درونی اش ندارد. او را از شخصیت واقعی اش جدا می کنیم؛ و زمانی که به او اجازه نمی دهیم بداند چه حس می کند، احساس کمتری برای درک آدم های اطرافش خواهد داشت.”

“اگر اجازه دهید بچه بداند به خاطر او در رنج و عذاب هستید، هیچ لطفی در حق او نکرده اید؛ و با کاری که می کنید به او می آموزید نباید از خود مواظبت کند. به او یاد می دهید از نقطه ی ضعف حرکت کند، نه از نقطه ی قوت.”

“راه پر بار ساختن زندگی و شخصیت افراد این نیست که همان گونه که همیشه عواطف مردان را تقلیل داده و ناقص کرده اند،عواطف زنان را مهار سازیم و کاهش دهیم، یا از بیان آزادانه ی آن ها جلوگیری کنیم ( به عنوان مثال، مرد نباید اندوهگین یا متأثر شود، گریه کند، نومید گردد). برای بهبود زندگی دختربچه ها نباید آنان را به رقابت جویی با پسرها و تقلید از آنان وا داریم بلکه باید به گزینش یکایک افراد، مستقل از جنس آنان، احترام بگذاریم و یاری برسانیم، و الگوهای متنوع تری را به کودکان عرضه کنیم، الگوهایی که از کلیشه های مسلط هر چه بیشتری رها شده اند و شکوفایی و ابراز وجود افراد را ممکن می سازند: کودکان بدین ترتیب می توانند استعدادها و شخصیت خود را هرچه کامل تر شکوفا سازند، بی آن که مجبور باشند جنبه هایی از وجود خود را قربانی کنند که ارزشی گران قدر دارد.”

“وسعت عشق پدر و مادر در نظر یک بچه غیر قابل اندازه گیری است. ولی این مسئله معنایش این نیست که شما نباید سعی کنید عشقتان را برایش توضیح دهید.”

“پذیرش شرایط یا وظایف جدید لزوما معنایش این نیست که تو همیشه این شرایط را دوست داری یا می خواهی همیشه آن وظایف را انجام دهی.”

“بنابراین در ظاهر، به نظر می رسد مردم عصر ویکتوریا نه تنها کودکی را ابداع نکردند بلکه آن را از بین بردند. اما در واقع مسئله پیچیده تر از این بود. والدین عصر ویکتوریا با دریغ محبت از کودکان در دوره ی کودکی و بعد با تلاش برای کنترل رفتار آنان حتی تا بزرگسالی،در این موقعیت بسیار عجیب قرار داشتند که در همان شرایطی که می کوشیدند جلوی کودکی را بگیرند تلاش داشتند کاری کنند تا همیشه دوام داشته باشد. شاید تعجب آور نباشد که پایان عصر ویکتوریا تقریبا دقیقا با ابداع روانکاوی همزمان شد.”

“از نظر من خنده و گریه ی کودک یک اندازه ارزش دارد. من هرگز نخواهم خواست از یک کودک مواهبی مانند رنجش و غم و غصه را بگیرم. عواطف بشری شخصیت انسان را رشد می دهد. هر چه عواطف ما عمیق تر شود، انسان تر می شویم.”

“In a sense, in the area of child care, children's relationships with parents' working has come full circle. We have gone from the mom-and-pop store (or mom-and-pop farm), with its integration of child care and work, to children-at-home and dad-at-work; to the mom-plus-daddy working at home, with its integration of childcare and work again. From mom-and-pop back to mom-and-pop.”

“The work-life balance is a harsh reality for so many women, who are forced every day to make impossible choices. Do they take their kids to the doctor...and risk getting fired? Do they work weekends so they can afford to send their kids to better childcare...even though it means even less time with their families? Do they take another shift at work, so they can pay for piano lessons for their kids...even though it means they have to stop volunteering for the PTA? It just shouldn't be this difficult to raise healthy families.”

“The child's personality is a product of slow gradual growth. His nervous system matures by stages and natural sequences. He sits before he stands; he babbles before he talks; he fabricates before he tells the truth; he draws a circle before he draws a square; he is selfish before he is altruistic; he is dependent on others before he achieves dependence on self. All of his abilities, including his morals, are subject to laws of growth. The task of child care is not to force him into a predetermined pattern but to guide his growth.”

“Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It's important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling.”

“Now if you not only support them through that pregnancy, but now provide childcare for them so they can go back to school and get their GED or their associate's degree or bachelor's degree or their master's degree, learn how to take care of themselves, teach their baby how to take care of themselves so that you break the cycle of the dependency.”

“I think actually under scrutiny, Hillary's [Clinton] promotion of equal wages at poverty level and of healthcare for children but not for their families, of childcare when there are no jobs, it just doesn't cut it. I think women need a real agenda of justice because women are care-givers, because women are instruments of justice for our families and for our communities.”
