We all want to belong, we all have that desire, and we will belong, one way or another. If the family doesn’t provide that, the peers will, or a gang will, or you will find something to belong to. That’s why it becomes so critical for families with young children to understand what a critical anchor they are.” ~ Dr. Ben Carson (1951-) American neurosurgeon, former presidential candidate, 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
