I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.

Creo que lo mejor que podemos hacer por nuestros hijos es permitir que ellos hagan cosas por sí mismos, que puedan ser fuertes, dejarles ser mejores personas, dejar que ellos crean más en sí mismos.

We not only need to have a deep respect for children; but also a deep respect for the child in everyone.

I believe that the number 1 most important problem in the United States right now, is the fact that kids will go to school and shoot other kids. And that kids get so hurt at school and at home, that they feel the need to do that. And then, the fact that people are not identifying this as the number one problem of greatest importance to attend to, is the second most important problem!

Children must be taught that they are worth being heard, being saved and being loved.
