Bloom, Allan

29.
Don't set your wit against a child.
Swift, Jonathan

30.
Parents are not quite interested injustice, they are interested in quiet.
Cosby, Bill

A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

32.
Parents are traffic signs that are always in our blind spots.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

33.
Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him.
Henker, Dr.
