Kids feels a sense of purposefulness when they are rooted in a world that makes sense. It makes sense to follow the rules if you feel the authority that makes the rules has your interests at heart. It makes sense to respect your elders if you see them as powerful, well-intentioned, in charge of the world in which you live, and benevolent toward you. It makes sense to work hard if you see hard work rewarded. It makes sense to be loving if you know what it feels like to be loved. - James Garbarino
