I can’t even take a stroll through a park. As soon as women see my face they start gathering up their children and running for home.

Somewhat paradoxically, parenting programs should focus on the behavior of the parents not the behavior of the children.

Demonstrating faith and optimism in the child or adolescent's ability to work things out in their own time and in their own way can be very difficult but it is possible to do this while also offering assistance.

In order to be effective decision makers and to live satisfying and contented lives, people need to be aware of their goals, desires, and purposes and need to be able to evaluate or assess the extent to which they are heading in the direction specified by their inner standards.

People need to feel safe to talk without their ideas being criticized, judged, demeaned, or mocked.

One of the most important goals to have may well be the goal to create the life you want without preventing other people from creating the life they want.

A parenting program should focus on parent's attitudes to themselves, their children, and the relationships they are building with their children.
