L.R. Knost Quote: “Join them in their world when they’re little so you’ll be welcome in their world when they get big.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Strong-willed children often grow into strong-willed adults who become world leaders, world shapers, and world changers. Parenting them peacefully is not only possible, it’s imperative because sowing peace in their hearts now while they’re in our care will grow a future of peace later when the world is in their care.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Healing a hurting humanity starts with a sacred pause, to listen, to learn, to understand, to accept, to forgive, to respect. That sacred pause transcends the fear-driven brutality of the primitive human survival intinct and makes way for a thoughtful, intentional, peaceful, humane response. Peaceful coexistence on this lovely planet is not impossible. It is imperative. Our future, our humanity, our very survival depends on it.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Learning together to live well in an imperfect world, loving each other despite or even because of our imperfections, and growing as humans while we grow our little humans, those are the goals of gentle parenting.

L.R. Knost Quote: “Growing children with an inner compass that guides their steps toward kindness and compassion and generosity of spirit is far, far and away superior to training children to operate on automatic pilot.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Telling a child that something that matters to them isn’t important doesn’t convince them it doesn’t matter. It just convinces them that it doesn’t matter to you and often makes them feel like they don’t matter, either. Remember, caring about the little things that matter to little people creates big connections.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “We don’t lose ourselves in parenthood. We find parts of ourselves we never knew existed.”

59. “We don’t lose ourselves in parenthood. We find parts of ourselves we never knew existed.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Instant obedience and mindless compliance are poor goals, indeed, when raising children. A thoughtfully questioning, passionately curious, and humorously resourceful child who delights in inventing ‘compromises’ and who endlessly pushes the boundaries tends to become a thoughtful, passionate, resourceful adult who will change the world rather than being changed by the world.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “The belief that children must be punished to learn better behaviors is illogical. Children learn to roll, crawl, walk, talk, read, and other complex behaviors without a need for punishment. Why, then, wouldn’t the same gentle guidance, support, and awareness of developmental capabilities that parents employ to help their little ones learn those complex skills also work to help them learn to pet the cat gently and draw on paper instead of walls?”

L.R. Knost Quote: “At a time when politics and power decide who is important enough to be fed, to be safe, to be free, those of us who have a voice in this world must speak boldly, loudly, insistently for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

62. “At a time when politics and power decide who is important enough to be fed, to be safe, to be free, those of us who have a voice in this world must speak boldly, loudly, insistently for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “The parents’ perceptions all too often become the reality. In other words, who they believe they are raising is who they will raise.”

63. “The parents’ perceptions all too often become the reality. In other words, who they believe they are raising is who they will raise.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Growing independence, though, doesn’t have to mean growing separation. Humans were created to be relational beings. We may outgrow our dependency, but we never outgrow the need for community, interaction, appreciation, reassurance, and support.”

64. “Growing independence, though, doesn’t have to mean growing separation. Humans were created to be relational beings. We may outgrow our dependency, but we never outgrow the need for community, interaction, appreciation, reassurance, and support.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Consciously, intentionally, and consistently living out how we want our children to turn out is the most powerful and effective character training there is.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Night waking isn’t the sign of a bad baby. It’s the sign of a normal baby. Nighttime needs are as valid as daytime needs and nighttime parenting as necessary as daytime parenting. Crying is communication, not manipulation. Respond to your baby’s cries, even if all they need is to know you’re there. You’re not being manipulated. You’re being a parent.”

L.R. Knost Quote: “Parents, choose your words wisely, carefully, thoughtfully. In the same way that violence begets violence and anger begets anger, kindness begets kindness and peace begets peace. Sow words of peace, words that build, words that show respect and belief and support.”

67. “Parents, choose your words wisely, carefully, thoughtfully. In the same way that violence begets violence and anger begets anger, kindness begets kindness and peace begets peace. Sow words of peace, words that build, words that show respect and belief and support.”
