I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting the 1960's and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.

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.

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth.

Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by you know abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments.

What lingers from the parent's individual past unresolved or incomplete often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood but it didn't because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.

No matter how calmly you try to referee parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.

I had three children while doing a show as demanding as 'Good Morning America ' so this is - you know it's almost like I'm less daunted about motherhood and parenting at this point in time. And I think I'm just much more fit and healthy than I was 20-years-ago.

In response to our fast-food culture a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage.
