This is what i give. i give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique. i end each program by saying, 'you've made this day a special day by just your being you. there's no person in the whole world like you. and i like you just the way you are.' and i feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service.

Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child's wishes and needs. it is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.
