Children's finger-painting came under the arts, but movies didn't.

Children's games constitute the most admirable social institutions. The game of marbles, for instance, as played by boys, contains an extremely complex system of rules - that is to say, a code of laws, a jurisprudence of its own.
‐‐ Jean Piaget
Children's literature is one of my joys, and it's also my mental comfort food.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
Children's programming in America, I think it's pretty shoddy in terms of lack of diversity. It's pretty much cartoons and Disney sort of shows. I don't find any of that stimulating for children.
‐‐ Alex Kingston
Children's publishing is the jewel in the crown of British publishing.
‐‐ Tony Bradman
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.
‐‐ Joan of Arc
Children say they are unhappy in every language they have. They say it in silence, and they say it in riots.
‐‐ Jay Griffiths
Children see things very well sometimes - and idealists even better.
‐‐ Lorraine Hansberry
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves.
‐‐ Jack Prelutsky
Children should always be brave and do something about bullying. It's not okay to stand by and let it happen. Bullies thrive off secrecy. Children should tell someone if they see someone being bullied.
‐‐ Imelda Staunton
Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come.
‐‐ Chris Cornell
Children should be able to live a life free from bullying and harassment and it is time that we all took a stand against this.
‐‐ Katherine Jenkins
Children should be allowed to be children and not be sold.
‐‐ Sandra Bullock
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
‐‐ Terence
Children should enjoy the few years they have just being a kid.
‐‐ Dwayne Hickman
Children should have enough freedom to be themselves - once they've learned the rules.
‐‐ Anna Quindlen
Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school.
‐‐ Beverly Cleary
Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.
‐‐ Michael Jackson
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
‐‐ Leonard Cohen
Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed.
‐‐ Mark Haddon
Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter.
‐‐ Francis Bacon
Children take in more information than we'd like to believe.
‐‐ Marya Hornbacher
Children tease each other because you're short or you're tall or you're a redhead or because you're ugly or because you're smart or because you're dumb or all kinds of differences and as parents we have to deal with that and strengthen our children to be comfortable with themselves and also to show empathy and acceptance towards others.
‐‐ Heather Wilson
Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes.
‐‐ Todd Tiahrt
Children that have been petted and waited upon, always expect it; and if their expectations are not met, they are disappointed and discouraged. This same disposition will be seen through their whole lives, and they will be helpless, leaning upon others for aid, expecting others to favor them and yield to them.
‐‐ Ellen G. White
Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited, that blights their life.
‐‐ Michael Gove
Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?
‐‐ Nicolas Cage
Children today will grow up taking for granted that an African-American or a woman can, yes, become the president of the United States.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
Children touch all of our lives. We all have the opportunity to sow seeds into the next generation, and there's nothing more important that we can leave on this earth than a legacy of faith, hope, and confidence in our God.
‐‐ Victoria Osteen
Children under five are the poorest age group in America, and one in four infants, toddlers and preschoolers are poor during the years of greatest brain development.
‐‐ Marian Wright Edelman
Children up to the age of seven are like sponges. They look up to adults and copy what they do. So I thought if I could create a positive role model - a superhero, if you like - who moves around and has a balanced lifestyle - then they would be motivated to move more.
‐‐ Magnus Scheving
Children use all their wiles to get their way with adults. Adults do the same with children.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home, and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views.
‐‐ Jessie J
Children usually do not blame themselves for getting lost.
‐‐ Anna Freud
Children want the challenge of difficult tasks - just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer.
‐‐ James Dyson
Children want to do what grownups do.
‐‐ Beverly Cleary
Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
Children who are treated as if they are uneducable almost invariably become uneducable.
‐‐ Kenneth Clark
Children who assume adult responsibilities feel old when they're young.
‐‐ Martha Beck
Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth.
‐‐ Dirk Benedict
Children who have an education grow up to lead healthier lives - earn higher income, take better care of their families, contribute to their economies.
‐‐ Queen Rania of Jordan
Children who have been in work for a long time suddenly get a thud down to earth once the cuteness fades, hips widen, voices drop and jawlines strengthen.
‐‐ Jessie Cave
Children who plan their own schedules and evaluate their own work build up their brains and learn to take more responsibility.
‐‐ Bruce Feiler
Children who play regularly with their peers are most likely to achieve the highest levels of adjustment as adults.
‐‐ Brian Sutton-Smith
Children who reach the age of eighteen with their entire skills set composed on Nintendo and eating Doritos have been neglected. Their parents neglected to give them the character traits necessary to live successfully.
‐‐ Dave Ramsey
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
‐‐ Miep Gies
Children whose parents return to study do much better at school. Offenders who persist with studies are much less likely to reoffend. The national mental health strategy recognises the important role adult learning can play for people recovering from mental illness.
‐‐ David Blunkett
Children will always be afraid of the dark, and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse will always tremble at the thought of the hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars, or press hideously upon our own globe in unholy dimensions which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.
