Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Don't live vicariously through your kids or try to shape them into who you wanted to be, like the popular kid or an athlete. Children should be given the opportunity to be themselves.
The first duty to children is to make them happy. If you have not made them so, you have wronged them. No other good they may get can make up for that.
Your sons weren't made to like you. That's what grandchildren are for.
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
Every child is so different. Their experience growing up and their experience relating to the world has so much to do with their temperament, and their likes and their dislikes.
You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.
Kids hate anyone who is different.
I am too childlike to be immature.
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.
