- We all have an interest in making sure teens grow up healthy and drug-free.
- John Walters on Parenting
- We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.
- Roy L. Smith on Parenting
- We criticize mothers for closeness. We criticize fathers for distance. How many of us have expected less from our fathers and appreciated what they gave us more? How many of us always let them off the hook?
- Ellen Goodman on Parenting
- We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
- John Sculley on Parenting
- We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles the love, not the disappointments the common sense, not the complexities.
- Fred G. Gosman on Parenting
- We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
- Henry Ward Beecher on Parenting
- We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.
- Edie Falco on Parenting
- What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp.
- Marjorie Holmes on Parenting
- What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.
- Benjamin Spock on Parenting
- What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.
- Virginia Satir on Parenting
- While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.
- Jane Fonda on Parenting
- Women are individuals in parenting, and why not?
- Erica Jong on Parenting
