Children quote #7
“Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.”
–Garrison Keillor
I am back from vacation! It was a lot of fun. Now, it is time for some more quotes!
I do not completely agree with this quote. With a proper upbringing, it is possible to raise children who do not take their parents or elders for granted. I have a friend who is a parent to two teenagers, and their relationship is remarkable. Both of the kids are popular among their peers, and they still treat their parents with respect in front of their friends.
In many cases, however, the awkward teenage years results in something different, which is described in this quote. Sometimes, it even happens at a younger age. Why do you think this is?
