Parents' Comments

Parenting is the most important job you will ever do.

It can also be the most difficult!

You cannot reason with someone who is being unreasonable.

It is what we say and do when we're angry that creates the very model our children will follow when dealing with their own frustrations.

Criticism is not a motivator.

Parents are the external regulator for kids who cannot regulate themselves.

The best inheritance parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

Relationships matter: change comes through forming trusting relationships. People, not programs change people.

Children do not develop on their own - they only develop within relationships.

Children fare better when expectations on them are clear and firm.

Many clinicians find it easier to tell parents their child has a brain-based disorder than suggest parenting changes. Jennifer Harris (psychiatrist)

Wouldn't it be nice if children would simply listen and learn.
