Quotes to ponder:

"Good behavior is learned. Kids need to LEARN how to be good and what it means to be a moral, ethical, upstanding person."

"When we talk about ourselves and what we believe in, we make a big impression on our kids."

"Children need positive attention from their parents. If they don't get positive attention from us they will settle for negative attention and probably go elsewhere to look for it."
