I Believe It's A Fact

Love Is At The Root Of All Healthy Discipline. The Desire To Be Loved Is A Powerful Motivation For Children To Behave In Ways Thatgive Their Parents Pleasure Rather Than Displeasure. It May Even Be Our Own Long-ago Fear Of Losing Our Parents' Love That Now Sometimes Makes Us Uneasy About Setting And Maintaining Limits. We're Afraid We'll Lose The Love Of Our Children When We Don't Let Them Have Their Way.

What Really Matters Is Not Just Our Own Winning But Helping Other People To Win, Too.

My Hunch Is That If We Allow Ourselves To Give Who We Really Are To The Children In Our Care, We Will In Some Way Inspire Cartwheels In Their Hearts.

Love Begins With Listening.

Honesty Is Often Very Hard. The Truth Is Often Painful. But The Freedom It Can Bring Is Worth The Trying.
