I think that discipline is so much of an important part of being a parent. Because it's very, very important to teach your children to take responsibility for their actions.

There couldn't be better parents than mine, loving yet strict. They disciplined with love. A child without discipline is, in away, a lost child. You cannot have freedom without discipline.

Kids are fat because of lack of parenting.

My parents are both average size. For them to have a child who was very, very different and very, very small must have been incredibly hard.

One of the most difficult parental challenges is to appropriately discipline children. Child rearing is so individualistic. Every child is different and unique. What works with one may not work with another.

We're good at taking care of little kids, and spend a lot of energy teaching them things like how to read. But when kids get as tall as their parents and can look them in the eyes, we tend to drop the ball - at a time they most need a loving consistent community of adults, be it parents, aunts, uncles, or others.

Regular people should not underestimate people who are small. In every aspect, they can do the things that normal people can.

Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.

Different parents have different standards for their children.
