You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.

To get a child's trust - you may know or not - is a very hard thing to do. They're so used to not believing adults - because adults tell tales and lies all the time.

Children are not in a position to assess risk and safety; it must be done for them, and it must be done carefully.

With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.

Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come.

I think we have a moral obligation to our children that can be easily summarized: number one, protect them from harm.

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

I think what children need is love, security, stability, consistency, and kindness.

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.

When we protect children from every possible source of danger, we also prevent them from having the kinds of experiences that develop their sense of self-reliance, their ability to assess and mitigate risk, and their sense of accomplishment.
