If you have forgotten how to be a child you cannot teach children.
Civilization sails prettily like a child's rubber balloon until it hits a sharp object; then it is likely to collapse like the balloon.
Before you beat a child, be sure yourself are not the cause of the offense.
There is more in the education of children than the everlasting iteration of the word "don't!"
When you are dealing with a child, keep all your wits about you, and sit on the floor.
