My goal as a parent is to prepare you for the future, not to make you like me.

Be modest, be humble, be simple.Make sure you come in first so that you have something to be humble about.

I do believe that when your child does poorly on a test, your first step should not necessarily be to attack the teacher or the school's curriculum. It should be to look at the idea that, maybe, the child didn't work hard enough.

I'm a proud strict mom and, you know, I'm really proud of the two daughters I've raised. And I'm especially proud of my relationship with them. We're very close. I think we're good friends.

There's nothing better for building confidence than learning you can do something you thought you couldn't.

I'm a slave to my dogs and go out with them almost every day. They are poorly behaved if they don't run. They really act up.

Oddly enough, I'm not a particularly judgmental person. I just don't have a lot of filtering when I'm in 'tiger mother' mode. I say what comes into my head.
