Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.

Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.

A lot of kids are broken, and it's hard for them to believe in anything. But you have to have an imaginative mind and tell yourself, 'Hey, I can do whatever I want to.'

I want to just be what kids believe in.

Kids delight in 'magical thinking', whether in the form of the Tooth Fairy or the saints: whether you see these as comforting lies or eternal verities, they are part of how we help kids make sense of the world.

You teach your kids about your beliefs and tell them what you think is right and the conclusions that you've come to from living in the world, and then they can make their own decisions.

I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says.

When you give kids the tools necessary to change their destiny, it's really empowering.

It's really important for children to have good morals and good manners, and that they're thoughtful of other people and that they learn the consequences of their actions.

It's easy to say young people should believe in themselves, but the number one thing is recognizing that it's a journey, that you have to build confidence in yourself.
