Parents sometimes simply don't have enough hands and time and attention to do all that is urgent. But in all things there is a priority of importance....and one of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask, that they aren't always teachable, that they won't always listen.
Richard L. Evans

Parents must get across the idea that I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behavior.
Amy Vanderbilt
Image
Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
Lee Haney

Parents do not, indeed, live by bread alone. We feast daily on banquets of our own words.
Sarah Bird

Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.
Orson Scott Card

Parents have the glorious opportunity of being the most powerful influence, above and beyond any other, on the new lives that bless their homes.

Parents have to understand, that even if their child isn't showing athletic excellence in a certain sport, they still need to be involved. They don't need to be involved in a military type of setting, they just need to get out and play and enjoy themselves and find it themselves.

Parents with meager means have the same aspirations for their children as other parents. Children from poor families have the same needs as other children.
Mark Sanford
Image
Parents and children were put on earth to give each other grief. You were my punishment for how I behaved to my own father. And I'll have my revenge when you have children of your own.
Mary Jo Putney
Image
Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Image
Parents wrongly assume that their daughters live in a world similar to the one they experienced as adolescents. They are dead wrong. Their daughters live in a media-drenched world floded with junk values. As girls turn from their parents, they turn to this world for guidance about how to be an adult.
Mary Pipher
Image
Parents who have been successful in acquiring more often have a difficult time saying no to the demands of overindulged children. Their children run the risk of not learning important values like hard work, delayed gratification, honesty, and compassion.
H. David Burton
Image
Parents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children.
Judith Martin
Image
Parents should talk to their children, even when they are babies and can't talk back.
Robert Winston
Image
Parents have no right to impose their religion on their children... A Fundamentalist Protestant parent has no right to expect the state to support his own narrow conception of education.
Paul Kurtz
Image
Parents often give middle names just so that later, when they're yelling at the kid, they can drag it out. Henry David Thoreau, you come in here this instant!
Paul Reiser
Image
Parents tend to name all of baby boys' body parts, but with girls they go from belly button to knees with this void in the middle. That doesn't change as kids go into puberty.
Peggy Orenstein
Image
Parents are already telling their kids about falling in love online - there's nothing frightening or dystopian about this. So, the critique doesn't work, because we already consider our dystopic state of affairs normal.
Alexander Weinstein

Parents give up their rights when they drop the children off at public school.
Melinda Harmon

Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it.

Parents always know what strings control your heart and soul. After all, they are the ones who tied them there.
Mercedes Lackey

Parents who struggle to get a witness of the Savior into the heart of a child will be helped as they seek for a way to bring the words and the spirit of the Book of Mormon into the home and all the lives in their family.
Henry B. Eyring
Image
Parents are indeed capable of routinely torturing their children without anyone interceding.
