1- Parenting is a process. You never arrive with all the skills you need. 2- Parents are not trained to be parents, kids are not trained to be kids. Kids train parents parents train kids. 3- It is more challenging to be a parent than to function in your job. 4- Parenting is a journey, not a destination. 5- Parents are the most significant influence in a child's life. 6- A parent is the greatest teacher a child will ever have. A parent and child certainly have the longest teaching relationship ever known. 7- It is not a question whether a parent is a teacher or, not, it's what is taught. Parents teach kids a whole new language before they come to school. 8- What you need to learn, you teach your child best. 9- The greatest aspect of learning is through modeling. 10-Parent modeling that includes the unspoken as well as the spoken word is the most powerful force in shaping a child's life. 11- How you spend your time and money tell your children what you value, regardless of what you say you value. 13- Successful parenting is predictable, reliable and consistent. 14- Invest time with your kids! There's a difference between an investment that sounds good and a sound investment.There's no greater investment in life than your children. 15- Parents that Affirm their children at least twice a day maintain a positive relationship regardless of problems they encounter. Behind every successful child is a successful parent. I've never met a good child that didn't have a good parent.
