We are in a crisis of trust the world over. Parents are afraid, and that makes our children afraid — to be who they are, to take risks, to stand up against injustice. Trust has to start with us.

Every child has a gift, and is a gift to the world, and it’s our responsibility as parents to nurture that gift, whatever it may be. This is the exact opposite of telling kids who to be, what profession to pursue, what their life should look like: it’s...

Children who learn self-control and responsibility early in life are much better equipped to face the challenges of adulthood, and also have the skills to innovate and think creatively.

I had my own ideas about what kids needed,,I stuck to them,no matter what other people thought. The result was — to many people’s eyes — idiosyncratic at best,or just plain odd.

I never put them in danger but I also never stood in the way of them experiencing life or taking calculated risks. When we lived in Geneva,I sent Susan,Janet to the store next door to buy bread,on their own,when they were ages five,four. I respected their individuality from the beginning.
