The original 'Artist's Way' focused on the nurturing of the self. The 'Artist's Way for Parents' focuses both on nurturing the self and nurturing the children in our care.
My parents lost everything, all their savings, because we had to run from the Nigerian side to the Biafran side. We were Igbos.
I was the one that put myself in rehab. I was the one that went to my parents and said, you know, 'I have a problem and I need to take care of it.'
[T]he very color of the air in the place I was born was different, the smell of the earth was special, redolent with memories of my parents.
My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
My parents have always been there to really support anything I wanted to do or learn - they provided the opportunity for me. I was very blessed in that sense.
My parents were teetotalers and my grandparents were - it's all the way back. It's New English puritanical tradition.
I was so unhealthy as a child, and at least three or four times my parents were told to get ready, that I would not make it.

If there's anything worse than being 16, it's having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence.
A woman always has her man, but the man unconsciously leans on his roots, his heritage. He feels like an orphan without his parents.
When you're a little kid, growing up, most of us know what's right and wrong. Our parents teach us that discipline.
I think everybody gets bullied in their own way. Even athletes probably get it from their parents. To a degree everybody gets bullied.
I think I've actually had a pretty standard upbringing. My parents are really normal, so I've always had them around to keep me grounded.
My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
My upbringing is so fundamentally different to my parents'. It must be strange to look at your child who not only speaks with a different accent but has a totally different view of the world.
