You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.

I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.

I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.

Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.

You can instill fear in your kids and get them to mind, but they won't function better in the world and your relationship will suffer greatly.

The most important thing with children is to give them your time. Actually, that's all that matters.

You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.

If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.

The more we try to control our kids and create who they are and where they're going, the more that will fall apart. That's a dangerous thing. So you need to actually manage the fear and figure out who your kids are. Who do they want to be and how can you help shape that, but not control it.

My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don't make them do anything.
