John Bradshaw Children Quotations

Children aren't fooled. They know we give time to the things we love.

Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.

Children need parents who model self-discipline rather than preach it. They learn from what their parents are actually willing to do; not from what they say they do.

I believe that this neglected, wounded, inner child of the past is the major source of human misery.

Children are natural Zen masters; their world is brand new in each and every moment.
