“When it comes to their kids, parents are all just instinct and hope. And fear.”

“Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves. ”

“Fear is a survival instinct, after all. When there’s no longer a chance of survival, there should no longer be a reason for fear to exist.”

“I just want my kids to love who they are, have happy lives and find something they want to do and make peace with that. Your job as a parent is to give your kids not only the instincts and talents to survive, but help them enjoy their lives."(The Power of One: Belief.net Interview; July 2005)”

“Everyone's parents argue-that just happens in any relationship-but parents shouldn't fight in front of their kids.”

“It's just some instinct as old as fear: you seek the dark when you hide, you seek the light when the need to hide is gone. All the animals have it too.("New York Blues")”
