Women without children are also the best of mothers, often, with the patience, interest, and saving grace that the constant relationship with children cannot always sustain. I come to crave our talk and our daughters gain precious aunts. Women who are not mothering their own children have the clarity and focus to see deeply into the character of children webbed by family. A child is fortuante who feels witnessed as a peron, outside relationships with parents by another adult. . Louise Erdrich
About This Quote

The more we surround ourselves with children, the more we become like them. We may not be able to produce children, but we can reproduce the same sort of relationship over and over again. Children are basically social organisms. Being with another child will make you better at human interaction, which is something all of us really need to learn how to do well.

Children are also very forgiving, which is why it’s important to let them know when you’re upset about something. The best thing about children is that they always care about you. They will help you get through life's hard times if you let them, and they will always love you no matter what.
