Children

I was walking down from the Opera House

The essence of raising children, of having children who daily bring us pleasure rather than pain, is in the art of communication. Children are not objects that we store on shelves in our homes. They are living, breathing, thinking, emoting human beings. If we maintain close communication with them, we will raise their self-esteem and our own. They will not draw off our energy, but instead will add to it.
