Give your children too much freedom and lose your own.

The burnt child fears the fire.

Small children give you headache; big children heartache.

To understand your parents’ love bear your own children.

If the child does not cry, the mother knows not its wants.

There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it.

The mother who spoils her child, fattens a serpent.

Beat your child once a day. If you don’t know why, he does.

Live with wolves, and you learn to howl.

Who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart.
