"When we deal with children we are not merely one person. We are at least three people. We are parents of our children...we are children of our parents...we are adults with our own interests and needs. Often these three people within us do not agree and may have different ideas...about what should or shouldn't be done." -Magda Gerber
"We are in an endangered time for children, and if we let the family explode, the people who will suffer are the kids." - T. Berry Brazelton
The T. Berry Brazelton quote really struck me. We often forget that we need to take care of the families as well as the children because the children are a direct product of their families. I think the use of the word "explode" illustrates how traumatic a child's life can become when the family is in shambles. Thank you for sharing!
