Everything you say or do will be held against you in the court of kiddom

   Why would you cheat your child out of the very lesson that made you great?

Parenting is the craft of managing the transition of a child’s desire for control to his or her acceptance of responsibility.

The greatest addiction in this country is that parents are addicted to the approval of their children.

The unexpected creates the teachable moment

The difference between a good plan and a bad plan is that a good plan works; it doesn’t matter who wrote it.

Children seek control, but like a dog chasing cars they have no plan if they catch one.

Accept the child you have so you can have the child you want

Denying your children appropriate consequences is like sending them to the gym to build muscles without ever putting the weights on the bar

Do not start a fire you do not have hose enough to put out.

Always believe in your children, but don’t always believe them.

Creating perfect teenagers is like collecting ice sculptures.

Only the most worthy are

worthy of trust

   You can’t fix a valve under full pressure.
