“ Children of cold or harsh parents are afraid to take virtually any kind of spontaneous action, including helpful ones, because they are afraid that their parents will find some fault in what they have done and criticize or punish them. ” — Bringing Up a Moral Child, by Michael Schulman and Eva Mekler
” Tundekülmade ja karmide vanemate lapsed pelgavad peaaegu alati astuda mistahes omaalgatuslikku sammu, ka abistavat sammu, kuna nad kardavad, et vanemad leiavad nende tehtus ikka mingi vea ja kritiseerivad või karistavad neid. ” ( Michael Schulman ja Eva Mekler, ” Bringing Up a Moral Child ”)
