“You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers”
John J. Plomp
“You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're going.”
P. J. O'Rourke
“Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.”
Dr. James C. Dobson
“Mistakes are a natural part of growing up. They're to be expected and made light of. But children bloom like spring flowers under praise. They want so much to be noticed and appreciated, to excel and have that excellence noticed.”
Earl Nightingale
“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.”
The Wonder Years
“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.”
Walt Disney
“I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.”
Elizabeth Taylor
