It's not only over limits and rules...[but also] about what we represent in the way of culture, traditions, and values. We owe it to our children to let them know what we believe, and if they differ with us, we owe it to them to be honest adversaries, for it is through this honest confrontation that children can grow into adults who have a firm sense of their place in the sequence of the generations.” IfsKnowsWayNeedsBelieveChildrenValuesCultureGrowsGenerationsHonestLimitsAdultsTraditionOur ChildrenPainfulBeing HonestFirmParadoxSequenceAdversariesConfrontationLove And Trust Author:Fred Rogers
