"No amount of success in any other endeavor in life will ease the pain parents feel when they realize they have not adequately devoted themselves to their family."

"The problems we face as parents are often the cause of our own inconsistency and inattention."

"Never gauge your parenting by popularity. The right things like eating vegetables, doing homework, and taking your medicine are usually not that popular. Oftentimes standards or rules are not popular either.

"In today's environment, parents are often forced to compete for their children's attention… therefore parents need to learn to woo each child."

"Children, while loving, are often master manipulators and require parents to be on their toes constantly. Their manipulation is not necessarily mean spirited, but a way of life for maturing young people."

"When parents have done a reasonable job in rearing a child, the parent should cut themselves some slack and not take the blame for their children's foolish choices or behavior."

"Mom's are the most wonderful people on earth… who else will love you when you're acting like a jerk?"

"The best thing a dad can do for their child is to love and honor their mother!"

"One of my biggest concerns for families is that raising kids and the demands of life take their toll on parents, usually moms are just worn out. Beware! Kids take advantage of a parent who shows weakness."

"Parenting is full of delayed gratification."

"Thankfully, kids usually tell it like it is…I can often tell when my parenting efforts are lacking… my kids invite me to go on a business trip."

"I would like to see parents become their own family's interventionist. It's a lot more effective and can save a ton of pain and remorse."

"Parents have their own innate discerning ability to know when things are not right. Trust in that capability."

"Our children will delete from their memory most of our mistakes when they know that they were our first priority and we gave it our best effort."
