Mitchell Stephens: Something's happening that's taking our children away.
It's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money.
I've got two children, and if my voice is still out there, I want the money to go to them when I die.
My parents worked enormously hard to put four children through college. We didn't have a lot of money.
The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money, power on earth.
A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.
My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.
I think poetry can help children deal with the other subjects on the curriculum by enabling them to see a subject in a new way.
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves.
I remember the evacuee children from towns and cities throwing stones at the farm animals. When we explained that if you did that you wouldn't have any milk, meat or eggs, they soon learned to respect the animals.
I like children; I like 'em, and I respect 'em. Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by them.
Our country's growing obsession with organized sports isn't just hurting our children, but also our communities. As play is siphoned off to gyms and fields, fewer kids are playing in our streets, parks, and playgrounds.
If you look at any superior athlete, you will find a strong parental influence. Parents introduce their children to a sport, and then they support them.
As much success came to him, my father stayed true to his promise. He built the hospital to help the most helpless children with catastrophic illnesses.
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.
Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.
In Japan, mothers insist on achievement and accomplishment as a sign of love and respect. Thus to fail places children in a highly shamed situation.
I have two beautiful children, a wife who loves me very much and who I love - and my career is going well, too.
I love living with animals. And my children love animals. I love walking around and being with the horses. But the deer? They're naughty.
