Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional psychological growth.

However painful the process of leaving home for parents and for children the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's home.

Teach love generosity good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows the children will be educating the parents.

The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world but as in whispering galleries they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity.

I figure that if the children are alive when I get home I've done my job.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home and broods a nest of sorrows.

I came home every Friday afternoon riding the six miles on the back of a big mule. I spent Saturday and Sunday washing and ironing and cooking for the children and went back to my country school on Sunday afternoon.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
