It is so fatally easy to make young children believe that they are horrible.

There's a great power of imagination about these little creatures, and a creative fancy and belief that is very curious to watch . . . I am sure that horrid matter-of-fact child-rearers . . . do away with the child's most beautiful privilege. I am determined that Anny shall have a very extensive and instructive store of learning in Tom Thumbs, Jack-the-Giant-Killers, etc.

To children childhood holds no particular advantage.

There is no bilingual child care, and these children are arriving to kindergarten without the same early childhood experiences to help them succeed.

People never grow up, they just learn how to act in public.

Unless there was an open heart, and caring hands, and listening ears, the children will not be able to correct their steps alone, or overcome their wrong habits that still need their parents’ efforts, patience and big and continuous support.
