Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.

If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather that dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities.

What gives me strength is thinking about my children.

Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.

You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry.

I think children have talent and insight, but it gets beaten out of them.

One of the biggest gifts you can give a child is confidence, because confidence will take you miles - more than talent, more than anything else. So yes, I want my children to have confidence and to be kind.

Always play to your strengths, whether your strengths are gender-based or just natural aptitude.

I think for a girl to be strong, it doesn't have to involve being physically strong.
