“Agradar aos outros não é um traço de caráter, é fruto de um condicionamento.”
― Emma Reed Turrell, Please Yourself: How to Stop People-Pleasing and Transform the Way You Live

“Don’t ask your kids to know what’s best for them. As much as they might protest, kids need you to know better. They need to push against you until they hit something solid that they can be secured by. Without a wall against which they can rail and rest, they have to keep looking for the limits, unable to do the rich development that can only happen once they are safely held in something bigger, older and wiser than them. They need clear boundaries, even if they don’t always like you for imposing them.”
