« We need to let the baby know everything about him, what we are doing and what we will do for him in the immediate future or in the near future. While his bath is being run, you have to tell him, "I'm running your bath." All mothers know that. »

« When the girl or boy, for example, is obnoxious or impertinent with their mother, the father being present, it is up to the father to tell them: "I will not allow anyone in my house to be obnoxious and disrespectful with my wife." The mother must do the same when the son says critical and derogatory things about the father. It is important for parents to be able to speak in this way: if only to make the child feel that they respect each other and do not monitor each other. But it is also important to know that a child may seek to talk to his father or mother alone, under the guise of talking about the other; after an answer like the one I just said, it can work out very well. "Here we don't have so many opportunities to talk, if you told me about you?" etc. Or often, children don't know how to start the conversation and believe that it is by complaining about one that they will be listened to by the other. When they are, in fact, looking for a singular symposium. »

« I have only one thing to say to politicians: It is from 0 to 6 years that the legislator should take the most care of the citizens. »
