Our parents have, by far, the greatest influence on shaping who we are and how we deal with the world.

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.

I think my parents undoubtedly influenced me on some level.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.

The relationship between parents and children, but especially between mothers and daughters, is tremendously powerful, scarcely to be comprehended in any rational way.

Parents learn the uses of power and its limits. They can insist on certain outward behavior but cannot change inner attitudes. They can require obedience but not goodness - and certainly not love.

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.

In order to influence a child, one must be careful not to be that child's parent or grandparent.

Of course, parents are the most important people in a child's life.

Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.
