“I have always believed in the magic of childhood and think that if you get your life right that magic should never end. I feel that if adults cannot enjoy a children’s book properly there is something wrong with either the book or the adult reading it. This of course, is just a smart way of saying I don't want to grow up.” IfsThinkingWayWantFeelsShouldChildrenBookEndsCoursesReadingGrowsEnjoyGrowing UpMagicChildhoodSmartAdultsAlways BelieveChildren's BooksMagic Of Childhood Author:Colin Thompson

“It is usual to speak in a playfully apologetic tone about one's adult enjoyment of what are called 'children's books.' I think the convention a silly one. No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty-except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all. A mature palate will probably not much care for crème de menthe: but it ought still to enjoy bread and butter and honey.” ThinkingChildrenHas BeensStillsBookCareAgeCoursesReadingSpeakGrowsEnjoyInformationOughtTenAdultsSillyBreadToneEnjoymentFiftyMatureHoneyUsualConventionsImaginativeChildren's BooksPalateApologeticWorth ReadingBread And Butter Book:Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories Source: Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories
“A new world of complex relationships and feelings opens up when the peer group takes its place alongside the family as the emotional focus of the child's life. Early peer relationships contribute significantly to the child's ability to participate in a group (and in that sense, society), deal with competition and disappointment, enjoy the intimacy of friendships, and intuitively understand social relationships as they play out at school, in the neighborhood, and later in the workplace and adult family.” WorldChildrenPlayFeelingsSchoolSocialEnjoyAbilityDealsFocusGroupsEmotionalAdultsCompetitionComplexesDisappointmentIntimacyNeighborhoodNew WorldPeersWorkplaceSocial RelationshipsPeer GroupComplex Relationships Author:Stanley Greenspan
