Parenting is the most important job you will ever do.

It can also be the most difficult!

Removing a child from a traumatic environment does not remove the trauma from the child's memory.

Some hope their children will be like sponges soaking up the truth and wisdom imparted by their parents. However appealing this philosophy might be, it seldom seems to catch on with their children.

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

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

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.

The more 2 parents differ in their approaches to discipline, the more likely it leads to trouble for the child.

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

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

"The thing that impresses me most about North America is the way parents obey their children" (King Edward VII , 1841-1910)

The quickest way to change your child’s behaviour is to first change your own.
