I Stress Character, Character, Character.

To Get A Child's Trust - You May Know Or Not - Is A Very Hard Thing To Do. They're So Used To Not Believing Adults - Because Adults Tell Tales And Lies All The Time.

Sipping Once, Sipping Twice, Sipping Chicken Soup With Rice.

Most Children - I Know I Did When I Was A Kid - Fantasize Another Set Of Parents. Or Fantasize No Parents. They Don't Tell Their Real Parents About That - You Don't Want To Tell Mom And Dad. Kids Lead A Very Private Life. And I Was A Typical Child, I Think. I Was A Liar.

If There's Any Advice I Have To Give, I Would Say It's That. If You're Looking For A Way To Get Closer To Your Kids, There Ain't No Better Way Than To Grab 'em And Read. And If You Put Them In Front Of A Computer Or A Tv, You Are Abandoning Them. You Are Abandoning Them Because They Are Sitting On A Couch Or A Floor And They May Be Hugging A Dog, But They Ain't Hugging You.

Kids Tell You What They Think, Not What They Think They Should Think.
