Quotes from Sylvia B. Rimm

Routines that teach children good manners, cleanup responsibilities, consideration for others, and respect for teachers provide good preparation for school and life. Disorganized, out of control class environments may cause feelings of insecurity for preschool children. Gifted children may be especially sensitive to the disorder.

The developmental needs and tasks of your children should always be at the forefront of your parenting.

Coping with competition requires understanding that winning and losing are always temporary occurrences. Children who learn to lose without being devastated and use failure experiences to grow will begin to achieve in the classroom and in society.
