All things Quote by Richard L. Evans
“Parents sometimes simply don't have enough hands and time and attention to do all that is urgent. But in all things there is a priority of importance…and one of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask, that they aren't always teachable, that they won't always listen.”
