The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
Living modestly in a suburban neighborhood while trying to support four children through private school is not extravagant or living large.
It is extremely important to me to write for children.
Fans love Sosa for his exuberance, for the kisses he blows to his mother, wife and four children. He is Slammin' Sammy, a fairy-tale figure rising from poverty in the Dominican Republic to the 55th floor above Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.
There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!
It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons, and talents as materials you can mine, assay, and fabricate for profit and defense.
Getting inside the mind of a terrorist wasn't difficult at all. Even as children, human beings fabricate elaborate revenge fantasies. We're not a particular species. Check out popular video games.
When I first saw children's television, I thought it was perfectly horrible. And I thought there was some way of using this fabulous medium to be of nurture to those who would watch and listen.
Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.
If I had children, as soon as I have them, I'm teaching them everything I know. I don't want to feed you fairytales. Fairytales are nice. But they come to an end, and then you have to face reality.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Maleficent has suffered abuse in the past, and there's a reason why she is now as furious as she is. And I think that children who have been outcast and abused in any way will relate to her. There's a beautiful side to her; she's not just a dark person. She has all these facets. And that is interesting.
Whatever happened to the good ole days, when children worked in factories?
I am no supporter of factory labor for children, but I have never joined with those who clamored against proper work of children on farms outside their school hours.
We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.
As some of us can testify, the viciousness of the lobby groups funded by the fossil fuel industry, and the publications that amplify their message, knows no limits. As we have already seen, they treat even children as fair game.
There is virtually nothing I wouldn't be willing to do, to try and make sure that children have a fair shake in life.
A lot of children are interested in fairies, especially young girls, and Tinker Bell is the ueber-fairy. She's the pin-up girl of fairies. She's the ultimate fairy, but she's also got a mischievous spirit and she's very strong-willed. I think a lot of youngsters recognize themselves in Tinker Bell.
The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.
