Matching Quote

"When parents take their child's vulnerabilities too seriously, they allow themselves to be cowed by them. This can create an expectation in the child that she is entitled to instant gratification because she is too fragile to withstand anything else. When frustration finally occurs (as it inevitably must), aggression becomes the only coping mechanism available to the child to fend off the feared damage to herself."

-Alicia F. Lieberman
