While not impossible it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house and you listen to their music and you go to their appointments.

The Golden Rule of Parenting is do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.

Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.

At the end of the day the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.

The truth is that parents are not really interested in justice. They just want quiet.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches but the spirit of reverence.
