If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.
We put more emphasis on who can drive a car than on who can be a parent. And I think there ought to be mandatory parenting classes starting in high school, and you should have to have a license to be able to be a parent to explain that you don't give...
Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.
Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children, but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.
The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.
I'm not a parenting expert. In fact, I'm not sure that I even believe in the idea of 'parenting experts.' I'm an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I'm an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting ...

There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.
