You can't predict the outcome. You can't raise a child and then tell them what to think.

It is such a privilege to learn from children as they discover new worlds of possibility and give themselves full over to their dreams, inspiring a few adults along the way.

As a mother I see the future in the present. Every little thing she does or says makes me form a hypothesis of how she will see life and treat others in 20 years. So I plan for how amazing she will be now. Instead of living my life I have to live hers. Some may not understand how important it is to be a parent. How present, efficient, selfless, and imaginative you must be. But I do. I only pray that this little face is stronger than I am and more successful for this world and the next. I chase her butterflies. She was created from scratch and presented as a gift from God. She will never roam free, unattended and unloved.

Fairytales teach children that the world is fraught with danger, including life-threatening danger; but by being clever (always), honest (as a rule, but with common-sense exceptions), courteous (especially to the elderly, no matter their apparent social station), and kind (to anyone in obvious need), even a child can succeed where those who seem more qualified have failed.And this precisely what children most need to hear.To let them go on believing that the world is safe, that they will be provided for and achieve worthwhile things even if they remain stupid, shirk integrity, despise courtesy, and act only from self-interest, that they ought to rely on those stronger, smarter, and more able to solve their problems, would be the gravest disservice: to them, and to society as a whole.-On the Supposed Unsuitability of Fairytales for Children

To stimulate life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself--that is the first duty of the educator.

Someday my children will look fondly on the annoying things I did and see them clearly as evidence of love.

Children who have faith have distinctly different characteristics from those who don't. In fact, one of the main manifestations of a person with strong faith is the ability to give__ot just in terms of money or possessions, but also time, love, and encouragement.

Sometimes to be a good parent... You have to laugh when you want to be angry. You have to be angry when you want to laugh. And that is why good parenting is tough.

Each child is a unique person, so raise your child taking this fact intoconsideration.

Effective parenting requires being the grown up version of what you want your children to be. Why? Because example is the most compelling superpower.

I may deserve your disappointment as well as a lecture and strict discipline, but what I need is your understanding, your guidance, and your unconditional love.

A __ood_ father will tenderly cultivate his children. But a __ood_ father who is also a __rave_ father will let the children without cultivate the child within.

Let your child be the torch of truth and they shall shine over the entirety of the human society brightening even the darkest corners.

Mind what you say, but mind more closely what you do. For though children close their ears to you, their eyes remain wide open.

Validate my existence with your words and I will speak to you all the day long.

Do not raise creepy crawlers my dear braveheart parents. Raise mighty humans with Himalayan strength in their veins. Give them the voice that has gone extinct in today__ society. And if there is only one thing you could give to your children, then give them courage _ courage to pursue their passion _ courage to trample every obstacle in their path _ courage to keep walking even when their heart bleeds in agony.

Let your children nourish their knack, for that knack shall one day provide them with the way to live with dignity and contentment.

They say it is hard to raise children. They say I would understand it when I have children of my own. They say I would understand it when I go through the experience myself. It is not easy to raise children into adults. There are so many things that could go wrong.
