"Your love life is insignificant when it comes to raising your children to be respectable human beings. The moment you see them suffer or lower their standards because of your selfishness, is the day you should realize that nothing matters more than them. You are not just the queen or king of your fairy tale. The real story of your life is the gift of time God gave you with them."

"So much is asked of parents, and so little is given."
Parenting
"Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending."
Action
"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth."
Growth
"Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family."
Family
"We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us."
People
"What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting."
Psychology
"Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."
Life
"The recommended daily requirement for hugs is: four per day for survival, eight per day for maintenance, and twelve per day for growth."
Growth
"Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves."
People
"Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem."
