asked asking changes children face fact fairly families growing input insight issues lives people run
No one had ever asked young people about the issues they face growing up. I don't think this changes the fact that adults need to be in charge; I'm not asking children to run the families of America. . . . But their insight about their lives is actually fairly interesting input into our lives.
child children fred help understand wonderful

children adults can-do
If you never allow your children to exceed what they can do, how are they ever going to manage adult life - where a lot of it is managing more than you thought you could manage?
children communication character
Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child's character--looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.
running children expectations
Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children's growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.
care company good jobs likely people stay supportive
People who have good jobs in supportive workplaces are more committed. They're more loyal, they're more likely to stay with their own jobs, they're more likely to give their all to their jobs, to care about their company succeeding.
against culture happens meets policies regardless rubber using
You can have a policy, but there can be a culture against using it. The culture is where the rubber meets the road. It's actually what happens to people, regardless of what the policies are.
