Sally Lee, editor, Parents Magazine: "In the last two or three years,
there's a sense of let's start raising kids who are not so
individualistic. In a bad economy, everyone wants to raise this

will help people." - quoted in Belluck, Pam (2000). "New Advice for
Parents: Saying 'That's Great!' May Not Be," New York Times, October
18, p. A18.
