I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house they want places to play.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful healthy children who keep me completely grounded sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

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

Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.

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

You have to support your children to have a healthy relationship.

No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have for instance.

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.

Love is staying up all night with a sick child - or a healthy adult.
