Susan Jeffers Quote
All my life I have never heard a mother call out to her child as he or she goes off to school, Take a lot of risks today, darling. She is more likely to convey to her child, Be careful, darling. This Be careful carries with it a double message: The world is really dangerous out there … and … you won’t be able to handle it. What Mom is really saying, of course, is, If something happens to you, I won’t be able to handle it. You see, she is only passing on her lack of trust in her ability to handle what comes her way.
