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

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

Criticism is not a motivator.

Hurt people hurt people.

You cannot reason with someone who is being unreasonable.

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

Good parenting requires sacrifice. Childhood lasts for only a few brief years , but it should be given priority while it is passing before your eyes

Children mimic well. They catch what they see better than they follow what they hear.

If you (parents) tend to overreact to your child's misbehaviour - your child learns that he can't trust you. Mom, Dad, stay regulated!

A tantruming toddler is a little ball of writhing muscle and incredible strength. It's like trying to carry a greased pig past a slop bucket.
