To effectively change children's peer relationships - especially undesirable relationships or reputations that have been entrenched for many years - it may not be sufficient to increase children's social competence without also altering their peer and family environments. Children must be taught forgiveness and empathy, and must learn to be accepting of individual differences. (Quote by - Gary Ladd)

Since we're in a small town, it's easy for people to assume they know all about the children, so I tried to approach it as if we knew nothing about the children. That way, the parents can tell us everything we need to know about their child, and there won't be any mistaken assumptions. Some of the parents like to (jokingly) call it a novel, but I think it's important for us to know as much as possible about the children we'll be caring for. (Quote by - Jamie Simmons)

Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself. (Quote by - Andy Garcia)

It's a tough business. Anytime you include children, people are emotional about their children. I'm emotional about my children. You got to get it right. It's not a service that I would want to provide. (Quote by - Lori Brady)

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father. (Quote by - Pope John XXIII)

Hungry children are distracted children. We want to make sure nothing gets in the way of our children performing well academically, including hunger. (Quote by - Arne Duncan)

Our children will be the ones that are making the bed sheets and swabbing out the toilets in the hotels. Our children will be the ones who are handing the hamburgers out the window at McDonald's. (Quote by - Michael Morgan)

For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become. (Quote by - Joseph Chilton Pearce)

Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me. (Quote by - Anna Quindlen)

Typing is an essential skill, but it can be painful. Some children just don't know where the letters are. Typing a three-page story, when they have to spend minutes hunting for every letter, can take forever. Yet we tend to assume that children can type, partly because quite a lot of us know where quite a lot of the letters are, so we assume that children do, too. (Quote by - Susan Mitchell)

A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child. (Quote by - Knights of Pythagoras)

What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings. (Quote by - Ann Landers)

All three of these are factors that put children at risk for crime when they grow up. Unwanted children are at risk for crime, legalized abortion reduced the number of unwanted children. Therefore, legalized abortion should have reduced crime. (Quote by - Steve Levitt)

Nobody believes that domestic violence kills and nobody believes it is detrimental to children. This world has got to wake up. To me, if there is domestic violence, if the children see it or hear it, that to me is detrimental. Batterers should not have rights to children. (Quote by - Denise Brown)

And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt. (Quote by - Bible)

And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them. (Quote by - Bible)

It will never be easy to manage your children. It goes beyond black and white, beyond rich and poor. We have a moral responsibility to make sure our children know how to read and write and do math and can make a living. (Quote by - Michael Oliver)

When Jesus Christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or White children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. He said, "Let all children come unto me.". (Quote by - Marian Wright Edelman)

Intuitively, one would assume if you don't grow up with other children you might not learn that easy give and take. What often happens is that there are some only children who act that way, and that stands out more than the only children who seem to get along with others. (Quote by - Peter Thomas)
