Stresses

Famous quotes containing the word stresses:

    Europe has a press that stresses opinions; America a press, radio, and television that emphasize news.
    James Reston (b. 1909)

    Families need families. Parents need to be parented. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles are back in fashion because they are necessary. Stresses on many families are out of proportion to anything two parents can handle.
    T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)

    American families, however, without exception, experience a double message in our society, one that claims a commitment to families and stresses the importance of raising bright, stable, productive citizens, yet remains so bound by an ideal of “rugged individualism” that parents receive little support in their task from the public or private sectors.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
