What I do say is, yes, children may be resilient and they have been able to deal with all sorts of difficulties they have faced, but the bottom line is this: I believe very strongly children need a mother and a father in the home.

Children are resilient and strong with powerful spirits.

And maybe that's being the third child, although my entire family are very resilient - very, very resilient.

Many think kids have lots of time and few responsibilities. And that's just not true. They are stressed and under pressure.

Human beings have enormous resilience.

Kids are pretty brutal.

Kids are very cruel to each other.

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.

In 50 years, the world has changed, especially for kids, but kids' needs haven't changed. They still need to feel safe, be close to their families, like their teachers, and have friends to play with.

Kids get a lot of lip service in disaster planning, but they tend to get far fewer resources than they need. The mantra of 'children are our most valuable resource' is almost never matched by actual funding.
