3 December 2020 Audre Lorde I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting, the 1960’s, and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.
3 December 2020 Louise Hart The Golden Rule of Parenting is do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!
3 December 2020 Jane Fonda 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.
3 December 2020 John F. Kennedy Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don’t want them to become politicians in the process.
3 December 2020 Billy Graham A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.
3 December 2020 Bruce Jenner If you’re asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
3 December 2020 Mary J. Blige I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
3 December 2020 Anne Sullivan 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.
3 December 2020 Christy Turlington 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.

3 December 2020 Hector Elizondo I’m a parent, especially when you’ve had the intense parenting the way I had. It’s all in the bank. It’s all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That’s the stuff that makes your work rich, that’s what you dip into.
3 December 2020 Marie Osmond 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.

3 December 2020 Fred G. Gosman We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles the love, not the disappointments the common sense, not the complexities.
3 December 2020 Brooke Shields I think I’m going to have to live vicariously through my daughter’s rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.
3 December 2020 Bill Cosby My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood, but it didn’t because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.
