![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sigmund Freud Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sigmund Freud](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-sigmund-freud-95293.jpg)
A child in its greed for love does not enjoy having to share the affection of its parents with its brothers and sisters; and it notices that the whole of their affection is lavished upon it once more whenever it arouses their anxiety by falling ill. It has now discovered a means of enticing out its parents' love and will make use of that means as soon as it has the necessary psychical material at its disposal for producing an illness. — Sigmund Freud

I want here to make three suggestions: first, that the doubts the ordinary man feels about religion are justified, and need not be stifled or concealed; second, that there is no ground for the view that Christianity is the only alternative to communism, or that there can be no sound character training that is not based on religion; and, third, I want to make some practical suggestions to the parents who are not believers, on what they should tell the children about God, and what sort of moral training they should give them. — Margaret E. Knight
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alice Miller Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alice Miller](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-alice-miller-80012.jpg)
The attachment to parental figures I am trying to describe here is an attachment to parents who have inflicted injury on their children. It is an attachment that prevents us from helping ourselves. The unfulfilled natural needs of the child are later transferred to therapists, partners, or our own children. We cannot believe that those needs were really ignored, or possibly even trampled on by our parents in such a way that we were forced to repress them. We hope that the other people we relate to will finally give us what we have been looking for, understand, support, and respect us, and relieve us of the difficult decisions life brings with it. As these expectations are fostered by the denial of childhood reality, we cannot give them up. As I said earlier, they cannot be relinquished by an act of will. But they will disappear in time if we are determined to face up to our own truth. This is not easy. It is almost always painful. But it is possible. In — Alice Miller
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Haim G. Ginott Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Haim G. Ginott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-haim-g-ginott-84202.jpg)
In adopting these attitudes and practices, a parent will accomplish a large part of educating a child for responsibility. And yet, example alone is not enough. A sense of responsibility is attained by each child through his or her own efforts and experience. While the parents' example creates the favorable attitude and climate for learning, specific experiences consolidate the learning to make it part of the child's character. Therefore, it is important to give specific responsibilities to children matched to their different levels of maturity. In most homes children present problems, but parents find the solutions. If children are to mature, they must be given the opportunity to solve their own problems. — Haim G. Ginott
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By David G. McAfee Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By David G. McAfee](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-david-g-mcafee-89254.jpg)
People who have extremely limited knowledge of The Bible or its implications may still choose to classify themselves as Christians on the basis that their parents do so - they may never even give it a second thought. This phenomenon of our nation's children inheriting religion is often overlooked because the perpetrator guilty of indoctrination is not a dictator or cult leader, but instead it is most often their own parents or close family members. — David G. McAfee
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Suzanne La Follette Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Suzanne La Follette](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-suzanne-la-follette-76790.jpg)
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. — Suzanne La Follette
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Adam Braun Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Adam Braun](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-adam-braun-95360.jpg)
At the greatest levels of affluence, and the deepest levels of poverty, parents share the same desire for their children to have a better future. — Adam Braun

Silence descended on the house. [....] Amma must have sensed that this was the sort of silence that, left unchallenged, could consume the family from within. — Vivek Shanbhag
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Elliot Perlman Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Elliot Perlman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-elliot-perlman-1680771.jpg)
Everyone was always hungry. The poorer you were, the hungrier you were, and with the hunger came weakness and irritability. It became difficult to think clearly and you needed to think clearly to work out how to survive the next day, how to get food. You were sure you could still work if you could find work, and you could look for it if only you could eat. But how were you going to get food, for yourself, for your children, for your wife or husband, for your parents? There were simply too many people within those walls for the calories that were let in. How were you to get food when there just wasn't enough of it? What were you going to have to do? With hunger of this severity came fatigue, a weakness that transcended tiredness and permeated your sinews and bones. As your limbs got ever lighter, they felt progressively heavier with each new day. — Elliot Perlman
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Elizabeth Hardwick Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Elizabeth Hardwick](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-elizabeth-hardwick-92635.jpg)
In those years I did not care to enjoy sex, only to have it. That is what seeing Alex again on Fifth Avenue brought back to me - a youth of fascinated, passionless copulation. There they are, figures in a discoloured blur, young men and not so young, the nice ones with automobiles, the dull ones full of suspicions and stinginess. By asking a thousand questions of many heavy souls, I did not learn much. You receive biographies interesting mainly for their coherence. So many are children who from the day of their birth are growing up to be their parents. Look at the voting records, inherited like flat feet. — Elizabeth Hardwick
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Phoebe Fox Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Phoebe Fox](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-phoebe-fox-82832.jpg)
My parents are actors as well, so I grew up around that world. It was always a very romantic, mythical world. They did a lot of theater, so to me an actor was getting to come backstage and dressing room mirrors with bulbs around them and trying on people's costumes. It was very exciting to me as a child. — Phoebe Fox
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sam Mendes Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sam Mendes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-sam-mendes-96087.jpg)
Children make you confront your own childhood. Which I think is common. Suddenly you're remembering your own parents as parents, not to mention the fact that you're confronted by them as grandparents. So you also have that terrible shock, a mirror image of your own. You suddenly seem to be so helpless in the face of young children. And you think, "How did you ever bring up me?" — Sam Mendes
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Nikki Sex Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Nikki Sex](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-nikki-sex-91040.jpg)
If parents don't want to hear the truth, children learn not to speak it. — Nikki Sex
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Henry Cloud Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Henry Cloud](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-henry-cloud-92034.jpg)
Parents have two tasks associated with no. First, they need to help their child feel safe enough to say no, thereby encouraging his or her own boundaries. Though they certainly can't make all the choices they'd like, young children should be able to have a no that is listened to. Informed parents won't be insulted or enraged by their child's resistance. They will help the child feel that his no is just as loveable as his yes. They won't withdraw emotionally from the child who says no, but will stay connected. One parent must often support another who is being worn down by their baby's no. This process takes work! — Henry Cloud
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Fanny Burney Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Fanny Burney](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-fanny-burney-94042.jpg)
In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made
a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.
with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?
Not at all: it absolutely stops short. — Fanny Burney
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Thomas Lynch Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Thomas Lynch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-thomas-lynch-94669.jpg)
The bodies of the newly dead are not debris nor remnant, nor are they entirely icon or essence. They are, rather, changelings, incubates, hatchlings of a new reality that bear our names and dates, our image and likenesses, as surely in the eyes and ears of our children and grandchildren as did word of our birth in the ears of our parents and their parents. It is wise to treat such new things tenderly, carefully, with honor. — Thomas Lynch
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Paulo Freire Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Paulo Freire](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-paulo-freire-95299.jpg)
No one goes anywhere alone, least of all into exile - not even those who arrive physically alone, unaccompanied by family, spouse, children, parents, or siblings. No one leaves his or her world without having been transfixed by its roots, or with a vacuum for a soul. We carry with us the memory of many fabrics, a self soaked in our history, our culture; a memory, sometimes scattered, sometimes sharp and clear, of the streets of our childhood, of our adolescence; the reminiscence of something distant that suddenly stands out before us, in us, a shy gesture, an open hand, a smile lost in a time of misunderstanding, a sentence, a simple sentence possibly now forgotten by the one who had said it. — Paulo Freire
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Robin Marantz Henig Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Robin Marantz Henig](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-robin-marantz-henig-89054.jpg)
Parents bobble between a nostalgia-infused yearning for their children to play and fear that time spent playing is time lost to more practical pursuits. — Robin Marantz Henig
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alice Miller Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alice Miller](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-alice-miller-97183.jpg)
The reason why parents mistreat their children has less to do with character and temperament than with the fact that they were mistreated themselves and were not permitted to defend themselves. — Alice Miller
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-sheryl-sandberg-417273.jpg)
Building resilience depends on the opportunities children have and the relationships they form with parents, caregivers, teachers, and friends. We can start by helping children develop four core beliefs: (1) they have some control over their lives; (2) they can learn from failure; (3) they matter as human beings; and (4) they have real strengths to rely on and share. These — Sheryl Sandberg
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alison Sweeney Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Alison Sweeney](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-alison-sweeney-569199.jpg)
Can you believe approximately 17 percent of American children ages 2 to 19 years are obese? How about this fact: approximately 60 percent of overweight children ages 5 to 10 already have at least one risk factor for heart disease? We are all to blame for this - parents, schools, kids - all of us. — Alison Sweeney

If you want what's best for your kids, one surefire way to provide them with a healthy, happy home is to make sure they have lesbian parents. In the longest-running study of lesbian families to date,2 zero percent of children reported physical or sexual abuse - not a one. In the general population, 26 percent of children report physical abuse and 8.3 percent report sexual abuse. — Jessica Valenti
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By John Bradshaw Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By John Bradshaw](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-john-bradshaw-1697573.jpg)
THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY RULES 1. Control or Chaos. One must be in control of all interactions, feelings and personal behavior at all times - control is the major defense strategy for shame. In the less-than-human shameless marriage, both parents may be cocaine addicts or addicted in other ways. They may be dishonest criminals. The children experience chaos, as well as secrecy rules that guard their family's behavior. 2. Perfectionism or Anomie. Always be right in everything you do. The perfectionist rule always involves an imposed measurement. The fear and avoidance of the negative is the organizing principle of life. The members live according to an externalized image. No one ever measures up. In the less-than-human family, there are no rules - the children have no structure to guide them. — John Bradshaw
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Toni Morrison Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Toni Morrison](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-toni-morrison-2170062.jpg)
Every Saturday morning, first thing before breakfast, his parents held conferences with their children requiring them to answer two questions put to each of them: 1. What have you learned that is true (and how do you know)? 2. What problem do you have? — Toni Morrison

The trouble was, Elizabeth thought, they did not tell the children of colonial families not to love these foreign lands, not to fall in love with their birthplaces. While parents dreamt of retiring in peace to another place called 'home', their children soaked up knowledge of the only world they knew: its different peoples, its spicy food, its birdsong, the way warm rain fell like a curtain through the palm trees. Their souls would be forever torn. — Anne M. Chappel
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Neil Gaiman Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Neil Gaiman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-neil-gaiman-75595.jpg)
As a kid, I would get my parents to drop me off at my local library on their way to work during the summer holidays, and I would walk home at night. For several years, I read the children's library until I finished the children's library. Then I moved into the adult library and slowly worked my way through them. — Neil Gaiman
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By H. Kirk Rainer Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By H. Kirk Rainer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-h-kirk-rainer-76517.jpg)
A faraway-father is distant from his children; not necessarily in geography, but socially - either by choice or by force. Our country has many fathers who are figuratively-forced far and away from their families. Legal force brings to bear disparate dads through such innovations as no-fault divorce, legal precedence, and post-divorce incrimination. I am one of these parents - portrayed or profiled as 'perpetrator'. — H. Kirk Rainer

By giving the FDA adequate resources and authority to both prevent outbreaks and intervene once they appear, we can support the administration's efforts to reassure the parents of America that the food they feed their children is the product of the safest system in the world. — Diana DeGette
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Mem Fox Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Mem Fox](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-mem-fox-77297.jpg)
As adults we choose our own reading material. Depending on our moods and needs we might read the newspaper, a blockbuster novel, an academic article, a women's magazine, a comic, a children's book, or the latest book that just about everyone is reading. No one chastises us for our choice. No one says, 'That's too short for you to read.' No one says, 'That's too easy for you, put it back.' No one says 'You couldn't read that if you tried
it's much too difficult.'
Yet if we take a peek into classrooms, libraries, and bookshops we will notice that children's choices are often mocked, censured, and denied as valid by idiotic, interfering teachers, librarians, and parents. Choice is a personal matter that changes with experience, changes with mood, and changes with need. We should let it be. — Mem Fox
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Neil Postman Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Neil Postman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-neil-postman-78945.jpg)
If parents wish to preserve childhood for their own children, they must conceive of parenting as an act of rebellion against culture. — Neil Postman

Keep in mind that one aspect of feeling encouraged is feeling good physically. Exuberance and vitality require energy; this means as parents we need to be in the best possible health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When we feel encouraged, we are better able to encourage our children. — Gary Chapman

![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Peter Shepherd Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Peter Shepherd](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-peter-shepherd-90814.jpg)
Love is unconditional acceptance. It is love of parents for child; also the non-possessive love of partners; also the caring love between all people that enables forgiveness. It's above energy, though it may be expressed energetically. It's our essential nature: Spirit itself, the quality we share with God. And it is the binding force of the Universe, inherent in all that is. — Peter Shepherd

No one can compare us to the apartheid regime. It's not like in South Africa between the blacks and the whites who belong to the same nation, or in Berlin where you find parents living on the eastern side and their children in the western side. — Silvan Shalom

Some things were not possible in this world. Children did not have two parents who refused to love them. One, maybe, but for pity's sake, not two. — Sue Monk Kidd

While there is widespread recognition that the War on Drugs is racist and that politicians have refused to invest in jobs or schools in their communities, parents of offenders and ex-offenders still feel intense shame - shame that their children have turned to crime despite the lack of obvious alternatives. One mother of an incarcerated teen, Constance, described her angst this way: "Regardless of what you feel like you've done for your kid, it still comes back on you, and you feel like, 'Well, maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I messed up. You know, maybe if I had a did it this way, then it wouldn't a happened that way.'" After her son's arrest, she could not bring herself to tell friends and relatives and kept the family's suffering private. Constance is not alone. — Michelle Alexander

Like grain in a time of famine, the immense resources which the nation does in fact possess go not to the child in the greatest need but to the children of the highest bidder-the child of parents who, more frequently than not, have also enjoyed the same abundance when they were schoolchildren. — Jonathan Kozol
![Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Linda Hoaglund Children Have 2 Parents Quotes By Linda Hoaglund](https://quotessayings.net/pics/children-have-2-parents-quote-by-linda-hoaglund-89478.jpg)
Because my parents were American missionaries who sent me to public schools in rural Japan, I had to confront Hiroshima as a child. I was in the fourth grade - the only American in my class - when our teacher wrote the words "America" and "Atomic Bomb" in white chalk on the blackboard. All forty Japanese children turned around to stare at me. My country had done something unforgivable and I had to take responsibility for it, all by myself. I desperately wanted to dig a hole under my desk, to escape my classmates' mute disbelief and never have to face them again. — Linda Hoaglund
