“try a democratic environment. Ask your child’s opinions, make them feel as though they matter and their feelings are valued.

It is not the material things you accomplish or acquire that matter so much as it is the quality of the person you must become to accomplish well above the average. The development of self-discipline is the high road that makes everything possible for you.”
