I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.

There must be a law against forcing children to perform at an early age. Children should have a wonderful childhood. They should not be given too much responsibility.

I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls so it wasn't a matter of them missing me. I was missing them.

I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.

I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.

I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.

We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them however has not changed.

I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.
