“Obviously, you want to teach your child between right and wrong, respect and being kind to others, whether it's their sisters or parents. You try to teach them by example, talk to them and explain certain situations. But there's also a time to put them in time out or let them know they've made a mistake and try to learn from it.” KnowsWantTryingKindChildrenMadeCertainParentMistakeSituationTeachExampleOur ChildrenYour ChildrenBe KindMade A MistakeBe Kind To Others Author:Eli Manning
“How can we accept a situation in which there are no longer orchestras, choruses, libraries or art classes to nourish our children? We need more support for the arts, not less -- particularly to make this rich world available to young people whose vision is choked by a stark reality. How many children, who have no other outlet in their lives for their grief, have found solace in an instrument to play or a canvas to paint on? When you take into consideration the development of the human heart, soul and imagination, don't the arts take on just as much importance as math or science?” PeopleWorldNeedsHumansHeartChildrenArtSoulPlayRealityYoungFoundImaginationGriefSituationAcceptingVisionClassSupportRichDevelopmentImportanceOur ChildrenInstrumentsPaintLibraryAvailableMathConsiderationCanvasHuman HeartOrchestraOutletsSolaceStarksChorusArt ClassStark Reality Author:Barbra Streisand

“It is very, very rare where a slight that turns into a grudge that is in need of forgiveness is only about one of the parties. In most of our day-to-day situations - with colleagues at work, with your partner, with your children, with your friends - most of the time, if you really got down with each other and put aside your pride and your defensiveness and you had those hard conversations, you'd find a place where both people had something to ask for forgiveness from the other and to forgive the other.” PeopleChildrenPartySituationPrideOur ChildrenForgivingYour ChildrenGrudgeAsking For ForgivenessDefensiveness Author:Elizabeth Lesser
