Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done. I tried to find the balance between the strict, traditional Chinese way I was raised, which I think can be too harsh, and what I see as a tendency in the West to be too permissive and indulgent. If I could do it all again, I would, with some adjustments. Amy Chua Parenting
Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It's about being there at big moments, but it's also just the consistency of decision making. And it's routine. Sebastian Coe Parenting
Indeed - judicious, consistent parenting is a dream of mine. No judgements, learning space and listening carefully are my goals. Emma Thompson Parenting
We criticize mothers for closeness. We criticize fathers for distance. How many of us have expected less from our fathers and appreciated what they gave us more? How many of us always let them off the hook? Ellen Goodman Parenting
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting. Tim Huelskamp Parenting
I learned that life is about the people around you and the people you give back to. That's what parenting is: You're not there for yourself; you're there for your offspring and everyone else around you. Conrad Anker Parenting
There's no handbook for parenting. So you walk a very fine line as a parent because you are civilizing these raw things. They will tip the coffee over and finger-paint on the table. At some point, you have to say, 'We're gonna have to clean that up because you don't paint with coffee on a table.' Gary Oldman Parenting
Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship. Laura Schlessinger Parenting
Parenting is not giving your child everything they want. Parenting is not being your child's friend. Parenting is about preparing your child to be a useful and respectful person in society. GloZell Parenting
Children should have enough freedom to be themselves - once they've learned the rules. Anna Quindlen Parenting
I think parenting these days is definitely different from when a lot of people grew up. As much blame as we give a lot of our kids for what they're not doing... I also try to give them as much credit for dealing with things that we didn't have to deal with. Bullying was one on one and face to face. Now it's all over the Internet. Nelly Parenting
Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. Robert Fulghum Parenting
I can only speak for my husband and myself, but we don't feel like we could do any of this parenting without our faith. Jodi Benson Parenting
Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny. Ben Stein Parenting
Today's new age parenting guarantees you'll hear children screaming, whining, and begging for items and attention in an airplane, store or any other public place. GloZell Parenting
Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids. Clive Owen Parenting
There are 80 million moms in the United States. Forty million stay at home with their children. Andrew Shue Parenting
I'm not a parenting expert by any means, but I've been interviewing and writing about kids for almost 20 years. Nancy Jo Sales Parenting
If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach. Caitlyn Jenner Parenting
