I Am Me And I Am Okay.

Parents Teach In The Toughest School In The World - The School For Making People. You Are The Board Of Education, The Principal, The Classroom Teacher, And The Janitor.

I Think If I Have One Message, One Thing Before I Die That Most Of The World Would Know, It Would Be That The Event Does Not Determine How To Respond To The Event. That Is A Purely Personal Matter. The Way In Which We Respond Will Direct And Influence The Event More Than The Event Itself.

Every Word, Facial Expression, Gesture, Or Action On The Part Of A Parent Gives The Child Some Message About Self-worth. It Is Sad That So Many Parents Don't Realize What Messages They Are Sending.

Families And Societies Are Small And Large Versions Of One Another. Both Are Made Up Of People Who Have To Work Together, Whose Destinies Are Tied Up With One Another. Each Features The Components Of A Relationship: Leaders Perform Roles Relative To The Led, The Young To The Old, And Male To Female; And Each Is Involved With The Process Of Decision-making, Use Of Authority, And The Seeking Of Common Goals.

I Regard (parenting) As The Hardest, Most Complicated, Anxiety-ridden, Sweat-and-blood-producing Job In The World. Succeeding Requires The Ultimate In Patience, Common Sense, Commitment, Humor, Tact, Love, Wisdom, Awareness, And Knowledge. At The Same Time, It Holds The Possibility For The Most Rewarding, Joyous Experience Of A Lifetime, Namely, That Of Being Successful Guides To A New And Unique Human Being.
