No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
I remain totally convinced that when children are young, however busy we may be with the practical duties inside the home, themost important thing of all is to devbote enoughh time and care to their needs and problems.
Things a mother should know: how to comfort a son without exactly saying Daddy was wrong.
I'm not really a helicopter dad or tiger dad per se. If anything, I try to not do that, but I get anxious while I'm trying to be relaxed about raising my kids.
When your kids come home, they don't necessarily want to talk to you. They just want to know you're standing there, ready to talk.
I would want America to know our kids need us. Spend as much time with your kids as you can. Enjoy them. Be with them. Hug your children; You never know when it will be the last time.
Have unconditional love to your children no matter what happens. Give them time even in the midst of this busy life - be one on one with them.
When children are little, they really need you in one way. When they're bigger, they need you as a friend. And balancing motherhood and career makes you both a better mother and a better businesswoman.
A lot of what children go through is because you adults don't carry the burden yourself.
No matter how children came to be living with just one parent, they need to be told, again and again, that your family's configuration is the result of an adult decision or an act of fate that has nothing whatsoever to do with them.
If you talk to your children, you can help them keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams.
It is the responsibility of every adult... to make sure that children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over and over that we love them and that they are not alone.
