Points for Parents

Daughter: “Don't wear that fussy red dress when you come to school, will you?” Mother: “If you're going to he ashamed of me, I won't go at all.”

Mother: “Which one of my dresses do you want me to wear when I visit your school? I can remember when I was your age, I cared a lot what my mother wore.”

The way we interpret a child’s concern about our appearance may be an indication of whether we’re immaturely over-sensitive or maturely understanding. — By Edyth Thomas Wallace, 1952
