Parenting

Think Pieces

There's so much to learn from our children. Because of our children, the question of the future becomes so concrete for us -- that is, we all want a good future for our children. Their simple and innocent questions make us realize how we, adults, tend to complicate things around us. Their simple comments and statements about the world around them reveal to us the naked truth, which we, adults, tend to cover with all sorts of trimmings we can find. - march 1993

Opvoeden is een beetje van jezelf en een beetje van het kind. Als wij naar ons kinderen luisteren, dan zijn wij al een hele eind weg. (Parenting is a little bit of yourself and a little bit of your child. If we listen to our children then we have already achieved a lot.) - august 1997

Parenting doesn't just happen, but something we do consciously. Afterall, the effects are for a lifetime. Thank you mother for what I have become. - august 1997
