The government cannot overcome bad parenting. What our leaders can do is publicly condemn irresponsible parental behavior in vivid terms.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We need to stop the erosion of parental authority.
Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job. But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
It amazes me that parents are allowed to raise kids. There's so much power and often very little accountability.
Parents have no greater responsibility in this world than the bringing up of their children in the right way, and they will have no greater satisfaction as the years pass than to see those children grow in integrity and honesty and make something of their lives.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
I've decided the secret of parenting is benevolent neglect.
Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.
It's shameful what's happening in this country in terms of what we deny our children.
I'm concerned about the insidious influence of the media's bad messages that undermine the lessons parents try to instill in their sons and daughters.
Society should see parenting as a public health issue and help parents to bring their children up feeling loved. We have birthing classes, but no parenting classes. The latter is desperately needed if we are to avoid self-destruction.
