Education, like neurosis, begins at home.
Milton R. Sapirstein
Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It’s about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.
Ron Taffel
Every cliche about kids is true; they grow up so quickly, you blink and they’re gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that’s a joy.
Liam Neeson
Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the ’90s version of it. Instead of just watching, you can do it together… something we don’t spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.
Alan Thicke
Family life was wonderful. The streets were bleak. The playgrounds were bleak. But home was always warm. My mother and father had a great relationship. I always felt ‘safe’ there.

Ryan Phillippe
How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child’s board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.
Voltaire
I don’t think children’s inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house; they want places to play.

Jill Clayburgh
I’d just as soon stay home and raise babies.
June Allyson
I’ve said it before, but it’s absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

Barbara Colorose
If you’re asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
Bruce Jenner
In automobile terms, the child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
Benjamin Spock
It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from "Dear Abby" instead of going to Mom and Dad.
Abigail Van Buren
It’s a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.
Anne Sullivan
It’s a huge change for your body. You don’t even want to look in the mirror after you’ve had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
Cindy Crawford
It’s hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden.

George Bernard Shaw
Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I’m not working I’m cool with the Teletubbies.

Todd Tiahrt
There are 80 million moms in the United States. Forty million stay at home with their children.
Andrew Shue
There are some great questions to ask your doctor. If he says ‘no,’ then you find yourself a different doctor. There really has to be a change in how we medically look at women at this time. I mean, this is not just baby gloom.
Marie Osmond
There’s really no point in having children if you’re not going to be home enough to father them.
Anthony Edwards
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

John Walters
We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.
