"If you look around, about every single major American issue that needs to be addressed is around the way we treat our children....What are we going to leave our children? It's a major issue. It is the great purpose that we need to revive. We don't have a lot of public purposes in America. We need this kind of movement around children's issues to determine whether we can protect people who don't have the power of the vote."

"A nation that does not stand up for its children does not stand for anything and will not stand strong in the twenty-first century." Marian Wright Edelman
"Each of us must come to care about everyone else's children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people's children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else's child will perform it. If one of our children is harmed by violence, someone else's child will be responsble for the violent act. The good life for our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people's children."
Lillian Katz

Wow! I am realizing what a lucky child I was to have such an extended family to grow up with. I am sorry my children aren't having that kind of childhood.
Some of us were blessed with a good childhood and some were not. Although I did have a difficult time, I learnt a lot and for that I am thankfu. It helped me know how to survive hard times later. Give your children the values your parents gave you and love them.
