You can't make your kids do anything. All you can do is make them wish they had. And then, they will make you wish you hadn't made them wish they had.

Children need far more than basic skills in reading, writing, and math, as important as those might be. Children also need to learn how to think for themselves, how to find meaning in what they learn, and how to work and live together.

How I choose to look at any situation will greatly affect whether I have the power to change it or make matters worse.

Remember that whatever anyone does, it is an effort to meet a need.

When people hear needs, it provokes compassion.

When it comes to giving advice, never do so unless you've first received a request in writing, signed by a lawyer.

When we understand the needs that motivate our own and others behavior, we have no enemies.
