* "Good parents give their children Roots and Wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what's been taught them."
-- Jonas Salk

* When my children wake up in the morning they know they will eat breakfast, get hugs from their parents, go to a good, safe school. Plates are full and store windows are glittering. But at the same time the great majority of the world's children and women stand - no - shiver on the precipice
-- Susan Sarandon

“Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship”
-- Laura Schlessinger

Teaching my kids to give back is an essential part of parenting. It’s not something that’s optional. Compassion is one of the basic values that I want my children to have: that if they see a need, whether it’s around the corner or thousands of miles of away, they should feel motivated to do whatever they can to help.
-- Kate Snow (NBC Nightline)

* The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
-- Dr. Benjamin Spock

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.
-- Dr. Benjamin Spock

* Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
-- Gloria Steinem

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
-- Elizabeth Stone

It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear.
-- Terence

* Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other - it doesn't matter who it is and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.
~ Mother Teresa

 

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
-- Denis Waitley

The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
-- Oscar Wilde

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.
-- Brigham Young
