Adults Quote by F. Paul Wilson
“Some people never learn how to talk to kids. They turn up the volume and enunciate with extra care, as if talking to a partially deaf immigrant. They sound as if they're reading lines somebody else wrote for them, or as if what they're saying is really for the benefit of other adults listening and not just for the child. Kids sense that and turn off.”
![“People always say 'They [teens] need a good talking to.' I've never agreed with that. A kid needs a good listening to.” quote by Naomi Judd](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5d4/naomi-judd-14649_communication_people-always-say-they-teens-need-a-good_1847872.jpg)
![“He [an earnest young reporter] seemed to share the view of many intelligent, well-educated, well-meaning people that, while adult literature may aim to be art, the object of children's books is to whip the little rascals into shape.” quote by Katherine Paterson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2cf/katherine-paterson-2365_adults_he-an-earnest-young-reporter-seemed-to-s_6101.jpg)
