“The principal task is to put spiritual foundations under both our child's life and our own. This triggers a shift in the elemental way in which we relate to our children, with the result that their behavior automatically falls in line as they become aware of, and true to, who they really are. Behavioral changes are an outgrowth of a shift in the relationship.” WayChildrenSpiritualFallLinesResultsBehaviorTasksOur ChildrenFoundationRelatePrincipalTriggersElementalsBehavioral Change Author:Shefali Tsabary
“The average person's short-term memory can hold only five to seven bits of data at any one moment. If you put more items in, others fall out. The older you are, the more you have crammed into those memory circuits. Twenty-five-year-olds can remember things because they still have empty space. Some of us take our children to the supermarket in the hope they will remember why we are there.” IfsYearsChildrenPersonsStillsMomentsRememberFallBitsTermMemoriesSpaceFiveEmptyTwentiesOur ChildrenSevenAverageDataFive YearsItemsShort TermTwenty FiveCircuitsSupermarketsAverage PersonEmpty SpaceFive Year OldsShort Term Memory Book:Thinking In The Future Tense Source: Thinking In The Future Tense

“Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and I'll be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and you'll have to say, "Stop here until your mom comes here." Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.” IfsLoveChildrenDoeMightAbleLawFallHouseSidesCan DoJusticeChanceMomPicksRelationOur ChildrenMy ChildrenYour ChildrenFairnessSooner Or LaterLegislationRace RelationsLove Each OtherYour MomPavement Author:Maya Angelou
