The best thing to spend on your children is your time.

Self-esteem creates natural highs. Knowing that you're lovable helps you to love more. Knowing that you're important helps you to make a difference to to others. Knowing that you are capable empowers you to create more. Knowing that you're valuable and that you have a special place in the universe is a serene spiritual joy in itself.

We make butterflies by feeding caterpillars, not by trying to paste wings on them. Kids need to like themselves the way they are, and we can help them develop a positive self-image.

The Golden Rule of Parenting is do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

Doing too much for others (often at their own expense), many persons are more 'human doings' than human beings.

Our children give us the opportunity to become the parents we always wished we'd had.

We all enter the world with fairly simple needs: to be protected, to be nurtured, to be loved unconditionally, and to belong.

Bringing a child into the world is the greatest act of hope there is.
