We learn much of parenting from our own parents. My love for my father deepened profoundly when he was kind, patient, and understanding.

Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.

There was kind of a no-nonsense parenting style that my parents had that was true of the time. Everything now... there are books, and there are websites, and there are blogs, and you're reading, and there's research. We're such an interconnected world now, and half the stuff they did was pretty terrible, but we somehow turned out fine.

While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.

Don't judge other people. For example, if you want God's anointing to be on you for parenting, you need to be careful not to criticize other parents.

The Golden Rule of Parenting is; do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

The relation between parents and children is essentially based on teaching.

Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them.

Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.

The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

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.

Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly.

At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.

My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.

As in nature, all is ebb and tide, all is wave motion, so it seems that in all branches of industry, alternating currents - electric wave motion - will have the sway.

My parents worked for Exxon, and they gave me every chance to take part in music. I took guitar lessons, and I was in the choir at school.

When I was young, my parents made me listen to old music and watch Jimmy Durante. I fell in love with the whole mystique of acting and entertainment.

I grew up seeing my parents perform and sing, and I just always wanted to be singing, too. Music has always been my deepest passion and what I felt most connected to.
