The childcare tax credit makes some sense.

When I talk to teachers, parents, superintendents, my colleagues, everyone wants to fix No Child Left behind. There is great dissatisfaction with No Child Left Behind.

Parents don't reveal how often they have bitten their tongue, fought back the tears, or been too tired to take off their clothes after a day of childcare. The parent loves, but they do not expect the favour to be returned in any significant way.

I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

I don't know why some people have children at all if they know that they can only take a few weeks off work.

I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: 'Checkout Time is 18 years.'

We have a part-time nanny who does a few afternoons a week. We have a nursery.

When you are surrounded by children, the child in you comes back.

Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.

Babies have much higher levels of stress in childcare.
