If I could pass along anything that my mother or my sisters taught me, I feel like my kids would be very well off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I'd like to pass on to my children is the thirst for knowledge. It's something I experience every day that I learned from my father. He always taught me that no matter how long you've done something, you can always learn something new and be better at what you do.
You can learn so much from children, and you can give them so much.
I've seen my own kids go through their own ups and downs, and as a mother, you want to make it better.
As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.
I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
Teach your children everything that you're not, because they will pick up on everything that you are.
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
