Modern Parents, Vintage Values Quotes

“We would venture to say that the opposite of fear is not a lack of fear but trust. Somewhere deep down all of us know we’re powerless to change things or truly protect children the way we long to. But we don’t want to parent out of fear. When we do, the emphasis is more on preventing than on encouraging. It becomes more about control than it does relationship. It centers on what is wrong in the world rather than who you and your child can be in the midst of it.”
