Don't worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.

It's up to each of us to help create a better world for our children.

Grandparents have the freedom to see their grandchildren uncritically.

All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.

I've come to the realization that a lot of our problems are because of a dearth of spiritual values.

Like my parents, I have never been a regular church member or churchgoer. It doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His precepts - there is just too much misery and cruelty for that.

I really learned it all from mothers.
