Kahlil Gibran'
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. |
William James
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can
alter his life by altering his attitude |
David Bly
Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be.

this issue by helping children to succeed
