“Mother, when your children are irritable, do not make them more so by scolding and fault-finding, but correct their irritability by good nature and mirthfulness. Irritability comes from errors in food, bad air, too little sleep, a necessity for change of scene and surroundings; from confinement in close rooms, and lack of sunshine.” ChildrenLittlesMotherSleepRoomsAirSceneFindingsOur ChildrenErrorsFaultsYour ChildrenSunshineSurroundingsConfinementGood NatureScoldingFault Finding Author:Herbert Spencer
“Despite all the videos you see from the Ministry of Defence or the Pentagon, and all the sanitised language describing smart bombs and pinpoint strikes, the scene on the ground has remained remarkably the same for hundreds of years. Craters. Burned houses. Mutilated bodies. Women weeping for children and husbands. Men for their wives, mothers children.” MenYearsChildrenWarBodyMotherHouseLanguageWifeSceneHusbandSmartStrikesVideoDespiteBombsMinistryBurnedWeepingDefenceDescribingPentagonMother ChildCratersWife Mother Author:Marie Colvin
