Interactions between fathers and children are the starting point of education.

Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern.

I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers - we should look at what young people are saying to us.

Young people know how important it is for dads to be involved in their lives. As I travel the country and talk with students, some of them tell me that their lives would be totally different if their father was around.

My father once said about being a parent that it is the only thing you do that requires a very long period of learning, and at about the time that you are becoming competent, you don't need the skills anymore. Notwithstanding this modest assessment of their parenting skills, they were wonderful parents.

When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.

Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.

The essence of parenthood is to make children think that they are the most handsome, intelligent, brilliant person in the world.

A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.

Of course, parents are the most important people in a child's life.
