Assure your child she is safe within the confines of your embrace; tell her  she is free from fright within the bounds of your  sight. Convince her  that a voice  as sweet as hers deserves no other ears than yours;  let her feel that to be  free, safe, and sweet she needs no noise, she needs not speak. Make her believe that silence is the air she must breathe; then show her your candor -- cut her tongue.

Killing a Mockingbird
Assure your child she is safe within the confines of your embrace; tell her  she is free from fright within the bounds of your  sight. Convince her  that a voice  as sweet as hers deserves no other ears than yours;  let her feel that to be  free, safe, and sweet she needs no noise, she needs not speak. Make her believe that silence is the air she must breathe; then show her your candor -- cut her tongue.
