“Your child is hurt. How quickly can you make it better?What if you can't?”
“You know more about your child than I can ever hope to know, what advice can you give me to make a better teacher for her?”
“You can't always control circumstances. However, you can always control your attitude, approach, and response. Your options are to complain or to look ahead and figure out how to make the situation better.”
“You can't cling to the side your whole life, that one lesson every parent needs to teach a child is "If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim”
“If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it.”
“You can't teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on.”
