Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.

Parents are the designated caregivers and are best suited for being able to raise children.

I'm not sure what it means fully to be a parent.

It is a parent's responsibility to preserve the connection with their children, to preserve the relationship, so that the children can let go and become their own selves.

The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.

As a parent, I have a job as a role model to my children, and by extension, to other young people.

Usually, the roles that you get offered that are the mom roles are very much the mom role.

I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.

There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you'd be, the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs, given the particulars of his or her own life and nature.

It is the parent's job to see how their child learns and to make sure that the children's self confidence is buoyed at all times, or they will plummet like a stone.
