There is no such thing as a perfect parent. So just be a real one.
Sue Atkins
Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.
Jess Lair
The point of parenting isn’t to have all the answers before we start out, but instead to figure it out on the go as our children grow, because as they do, so will we.
Bridgett Miller
It’s not only children who grow. Parents do, too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.
Joyce Maynard
A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.
Paulo Coelho
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Bette Davis
Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do.
Matt Walsh
- Where is the manual for parenting children, because it is a dynamic process in the institution of marriage?
- Is there a strategic plan for this institution called marriage, where people are celebrated and given a certificate before the coursework?
- What happens to the initial happiness of getting children when they get to two years, form two, and year two in college?
- Have you been parenting your children using the old school parenting skills and knowledge? Watch the Gen Z and Alpha generations; it’s not easy to parent children full of sternness and confidence, which their parents did not have.
- Is anything wrong with these children? There is nothing wrong with the challenging dynamics of life, with the surge in technology and now Artificial Intelligence, the internet, and sophisticated gadgets.
- Is vitamin N (Word NO) served with all meals all the time, in your house? It is the most important Word to use in developing self-control and delayed gratification within our children.
- I do not seem to understand parenting in its complexity. There is no school for these practical lessons on parenting?
- If any of the mentioned questions resonate with you, parenting therapy and mentorship are what you need.
