Always think of your child's age. Every age has a "theme" of what can be expected from it. Children are not small adults.

Good begets good. Bad begets bad. Out of control begets out of control - and calm begets calm.

Remember to distinguish the behavior from the child, because here isn't a bad child, just bad behavior.

Sometimes we forget that parenting, like love, is a verb.

When you substitute "we" for "I" even "illness" becomes "wellness".

Building confidence rather than self-esteem is like making a nice house with little foundation.

We have to model honesty for our children and let them know that it is OK to feel all of their emotions.

We can't change the way we were raised, but we can 100% change the way we raise our children.

If we change the way we see our children, the way they see themselves will change. Always look for the good.
