Some quotes:

I’m always amazed when adults say that children “just did that to get attention”. Naturally children who need attention will do all kinds of things to get it. Why not just give it to them?

Children don't say, “I had a hard day at school today; can I talk to you about it?” They say, “Will you play with me?

Parenting has been described as the process of giving our children both roots and wings.

And some fun silly games.
