“If responsibility for the upbringing of children is to continue to be vested in the family, then the rights of children will be secured only when parents are able to make a living for their families with so little difficulty that they may give their best thought and energy to the child's development and the problem of helping it adjust itself to the complexities of the modern environment.” IfsGivingMayChildrenLittlesHelpingProblemAbleEnergyParentResponsibilityPovertyEnvironmentRightsModernDevelopmentDifficultyComplexityUpbringingSecured Author:Suzanne La Follette
“Parents who are stressed or disturbed will have more difficulty in meeting their children's needs.

In fact they've got a sort of bad conscience about the working classes.” ThinkingKnowsMadeFactsSidesClassPovertyImaginePositionConscienceDifficultyWorking ClassBoth SidesComprehending Author:Catherine Camus
