Bruno Bettelheim quotes about
children struggle doe
This is exactly the message that fairy tales get across to the child in manifold form: that a struggle against severe difficulties in life is unavoidable, is an intrinsic part of human existence -- but that if one does not shy away, but steadfastly meets unexpected and often unjust hardships, one masters all obstacles and at the end emerges victorious.
generations ifs wounds
What cannot be talked about cannot be put to rest. And if it is not, the wounds will fester from generation to generation.
disturbed love sadly since understanding
With the very disturbed child, understanding is essential, since we all know sadly that love is not enough.
