You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a Merry-Go-Round will wave at his parents every time around...........and why his parents will always wave back. The human race is the only species in the animal kingdom which allows their children to come home. You can't train a horse using shouts, then expect it to obey a whisper? Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children - play is serious learning. In fact, play is the occupation of childhood. Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. Every child comes with the message that god is not yet discouraged with mankind. It is not easy to be crafty and winsome at the same time, in fact, few accomplish it after the age of six. Cherishing children is the mark of any society. Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of middle names is so they can tell when he's really in trouble! Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath... We worry too much about what a child will be tomorrow, yet forget that he is someone today. Children are always interested in fairness. Parents are always interested in silence. Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of a child, they are all 30-feet tall...
