If you tell children they are bad, that's what they believe they are--and that's probably what they will become.

Our children give us the opportunity to become the parents we always wished we'd had.

Before I had my first child, I never really looked forward in anticipation to the future. As I watched my son grow and learn, I began to imagine the world this generation of children would live in. I thought of the children they would have, and of their children. I felt connected to life both before my time and beyond it. Children are our link to future generations that we will never see.

Play is a universal language. It gives a sense of joy in being alive. It is one of the healthiest things we have in our culture. When we play, we give a gift of joy to another. Happy and joyous family times are a unifying force. They increase closeness and positive feelings. They increase loyalty to the family team. Everyone relaxes and feels more alive. Love just happens when you're having fun together!

The Golden Rule of Parenting is; do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

Doing too much for others (often at their own expense), many persons are more 'human doings' than human beings.

The best thing to spend on your children is your time.
