Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.

I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.

You know how it's almost impossible for kids to not say what they think? That's me. I have to make the conscious effort to be situationally appropriate.

Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.

My theory is children don't do what you tell them to do, they do what you do. You have to always do the right thing because they follow you.

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.

It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.

I didn't think I had anything particular to say, but I thought I might have something to say to children.

Things parents say to children are oftentimes not heard, but in some cases you pick up on things that your parent would like to see you have done.

I told my kids when they were little, 'Look, kids, your mother and I are screwing you up somehow. We don't understand how, or we wouldn't do it. But we're parents. So somehow we're damaging you, and I want you to know that early. So just ignore me when I go to that part of my parenting.'
