"Kids raised from birth on to feel safe expressing their emotions, who feel their parents are on their side, aren’t perfect. They’re easier to parent, though, because they’re better at managing their emotions, and therefore their behavior. They’re more willing to accept our guidance."

- Laura Markham

"Siblings often become good friends, and because they know each other so well, they can provide each other a deep sense of comfort."

- Laura Markham

"The truth is, parenting as well as we can is always hard – really, truly, the hardest thing any of us has ever done."
