I often try to tell kids to think about all the people who love you, don't cry over the one person who doesn't.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My kids would not get in to bed every night without me telling them that I loved them.
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.
The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
Maybe sometimes, when I see some kids, you know, with their families. It's making me cry. You know, maybe when I ask them, sometimes, like, 'How does it feel to have a dad?' And, you know, they tell me this great answers, and sometimes I wish my dad was here.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
I don't have a father, but my kids tell me every day that they love me... even when I am not in my best mood.
I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
When you have little children, you want to tell them about joy and happiness and hope. And then comes the time you want to tell them there are tough moments. I admire people who can do that.
It's OK to let your children see you cry.
I don't use the phrase 'I love you' very often, but I say it every time I talk to my children.
