Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
Regard your soldiers as your children and they will follow you into the deepest valleys look on them as your own beloved sons and they will stand by you even unto death.
There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.
Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales so is the other.
I've told my children that when I die to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me death is a graduation.
I grew up between the two world wars and received a rather solid general education the kind middle class children enjoyed in a country whose educational system had its roots dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and if he had the money an early dinner somewhere.
I don't know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.
Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man my fiance Ashanti whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.
