“If I could summarize my suggestions to parents over the past twenty-five years it would be: worry less, criticize less, preach less, listen more, have more fun, be more honest with your own feelings, develop your own joys and friendships, and don't sweat the small stuff (which is nearly everything).

The hope is to be a good enough parent so that your child leaves home a responsible adult who can take care of him or herself.” IfsYearsChildrenEnoughFeelingsHomeWould BeCarePastJoyFunStuffParentGoalPerfectWorryFiveHonestAdultsTwentiesResponsibleOur ChildrenTake CareYour ChildrenFive YearsIf I CouldCriticizeGood EnoughSweatSuggestionsOver The PastTwenty FiveSmall StuffSweat The Small StuffWorry LessPerfect Parents Author:Charlotte Sophia Kasl

You think of yourself as responsible to future generations in a whole different way.” IfsThinkingWorldWayYearsLooksChildrenDifferentStatesWholeHellGenerationsResponsibleOur ChildrenYour ChildrenDifferent WaysFuture GenerationThink Of YouTempting Author:Marianne Williamson

“Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible.
