- Nov 07, 2020
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.
- Tough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.
- Go

- Nov 07, 2020
Mum and Dad had high expectations of us as human beings - it wasn't just about education. It's a fantastic way to go about parenting, and I aspire to that.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting.
- Certain Things
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a shallow understanding of what it means to be alive, and I know certain things about parenting and being a wife and doing the school run. I know little bits, but I'm really a paddler on a beach.

- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Should kids check phones at dinner? I don't know. To me, that's a parenting choice.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Dad was a strict disciplinarian and would give us a wallop with a wooden spoon if we were out of order. But we really respected him - he didn't try to be our best friend.
- Embark
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Deciding together to have a child and sharing in child-rearing do not immunize a marriage. Indeed, collaborative couples can face other problems. They often embark on such an intense style of parenting that they end up paying less attention to each other.
- Defied
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In her second career as a minister, my mother defied a legacy of chauvinism to become a leader of our community, overseeing a church that served as a hub, offering parenting classes, a food pantry, after-school programming, and - in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - a lifeline to those ravaged by loss.
- Childhood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parenting advice is mostly useless because every family is uniquely its own; artistic advice is mostly useless because every artist works in their own way. Thus, figuring out how to balance the two has an intense specificity.
- Nov 07, 2020
With respect to parenting, biological age is not, for men, the concern it is for women.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parenting is love, sure, but it's as much about receiving love as it is giving it. Parenthood is a kind of vanity.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In parenthood, there's so much fear around parenting in this day and age, and there's so much fear around technology.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.

- Nov 07, 2020
Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.
- Quality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once you've taken account of the quality of sibling relationships, knowing about the quality of parenting doesn't add much information.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.
- Parent
- |

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Leave part of the yard rough. Don't manicure everything. Small children in particular love to turn over rocks and find bugs, and give them some space to do that. Take your child fishing. Take your child on hikes.

The more we learn, the more we will be confronted with decisions that we've never had to make before about life, about death, about parenting.

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Somebody once told me I treated my smart phone like Wilson, the volleyball Tom Hanks turns into a friend when he's stranded on a desert island in that movie 'Castaway.' It's an apt comparison: parenting a toddler occasionally feels like being marooned, and your phone is your only connection to the rest of the world.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Launching a kid into college is about more than having the money to pay for it. Parents invest so much of their time and identities in the process that it can feel like a part time job. For many parents, the college your child ends up attending becomes a parenting grade.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hugs can do great amounts of good - especially for children.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving.
- Baby
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives.
- Children

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

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's this constant guilt that comes with parenting. You always feel like you're never enough. If you're confident in your parenting, you probably suck at it.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People who choose not to have kids do so because they respect the job of parenting so much that they know not to take it on if they know it's not something that they're up for, and I don't know what to be a bigger tribute to parenting than that.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting, which is a style of parenting that... basically, the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.
- Passive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.
- Nov 07, 2020
I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the parenting of Tina and myself combined allowed our kids to really find their passion at an early age.
- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My guess is that good and bad parenting is spread fairly evenly across different social groups. But can you imagine Tony Blair lecturing the middle class on how to bring up their children? He is far more comfortable as a latter-day exponent of the Poor Law mentality.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp.

- |

- Marriage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.
