Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.

Love your kid as much as you possibly can, and do what you need to do for your family because my situation and what I do for my kid may not work for you.

You know the best part of being a mom is getting that love. Honestly, you know, my son's love... a child's love is so pure, it just makes you feel so good no matter what.

Your job as a parent is to listen. And to dole out as much love as you can. That includes tough love.

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.

It's one thing to support your kid, but if you have an interest in what your child is doing, it makes it a whole lot easier.

It's very important to be in your child's life and know what's going on and be there with them.

There's love for your parents, your family, your spouse, your partner, your friends, but the nature of the connection you have with your child, there's nothing like it. It has its own character and it's so serious and so powerful, and so it's a prism through which I see everything.

I think the greatest challenge between child and parent is communication.

Having a child on the way changes your perspective. You want to do things that will make them proud of you.
