Atunci când avem de a face cu copiii sau nepoţii noştri, unul dintre cele mai mari daruri să le putem da este pur şi simplu acordând o atenţie atunci când pune întrebări dificile, ascultarea observaţiilor lor despre lume, încurajându-i să vorbească cu persoane foarte diferite, şi nu prea orgolioşi despre experimentele lor atunci cand incearca lucruri noi.
- Hal Gregersen // When we deal with our children or grandchildren, one of the greatest gifts we can give them is simply paying attention when they ask tough questions, hearing their observations about the world, encouraging them to talk to very different people, and not getting too uptight about their experiments when they try new stuff.
