Everything from airplanes to kitchen blenders and even chopsticks comes with an instruction manual. Children, despite all their complexity, do not.

The fundamental job of a toddler is to rule the universe.

Your baby only needs a lot of light at night if he's reading or he's entertaining guests.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.

I've worked throughout California as a poet: in colleges, universities, worker camps, migrant education offices, continuation high schools, juvenile halls, prisons, and gifted classrooms.
