Quote by Terence

Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.

Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of guiding children in the right direction through persuasion rather than harshness or strictness. It suggests that instead of using severity or forceful tactics, parents, guardians, or role models should employ gentle persuasion and communication to influence children's behavior and decisions. By appealing to a child's understanding, reasoning, and emotions, this approach aims to foster understanding, cooperation, and a genuine desire within the child to choose the right path willingly.

Like most citizens of popular and international urban centres, I don't take advantage of the cultural opportunities. Perhaps this comes from growing up in suburbia. Home is where you eat, sleep, read, watch television and ignore your parents. It is not where you go to the ballet and then attend a heated panel discussion about it afterwards.
