I see a lot of women around me who seem to stop developing as individuals after marriage and children. I don't know what kinds of pressure they're under, but I think it robs the world of 'the older version of Judy or Wendy,' or whomever. It robs the world of the next iteration of them, and I don't think that's right.
We all want to raise our children well.
Parents have a right to insist that godless evolution not be taught to their children.
Each year, several million children either die or suffer irreparable developmental defects because of vitamin A deficiency. Countless others are harmed by malnutrition and starvation. Yet many of these deaths would be preventable if we addressed them head on and used the tools that exist to stop them.
I give the children education.
Having a loving relationship with our spouse or with our children is what leads to the long-term happiness we all seek.
My best holidays were in Devon and Cornwall when the children were growing up. We always used to stay on farms because our children were pretty wild, and it was great going to the beach every day. We used to go to Launceston and Salcombe and all over those two counties.
I've never been a believer in the physical punishment of children. I don't think it is necessary.
Children are often better actors than adults because they have a greater capacity for believing in a situation.
As my friend said to me, when you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp.
I did a minor in creative writing in college, but I didn't start writing until I stayed at home with my own children.
I'm attempting to put myself in a bottle that will one day wash up on the beach for my children.
We've been fighting our whole lives to say we're just human beings like everyone else. When we start separating ourselves in our work, that doesn't help the cause. I've heard it for years: 'How do you feel being a black filmmaker?' I'm not a black filmmaker, I'm a filmmaker. I'm a black man, I have black children. But I'm just a filmmaker.
Our promise to our children should be this: if you do well in school, we will pay for you to obtain a college degree.
When Kate was born, she was born into a world of joy and happiness and confidence. The difference between the children is night and day. She's happy, she's thriving, she's full of self-confidence. I tell her she's beautiful every day before I send her off to school.
Never having children is a huge regret of mine.
For rich children, it'd be very easy and convenient never to take any steps to build an identity outside of your association with your family's wealth.
Now, we believe that the majority of teachers in America know our system must be reformed, to put students first so that America can compete, that teachers don't teach to become rich or famous. They teach because they love children.
I want my kids to live their life with great family memories that they can pass on to their children.
If you are going to take away war toys, then what are you to replace them with? Children need to feel courageous, brave, and assertive. They need to feel strong; that is the purpose of their play.
I didn't dream of being in television or film. But then I got married pretty young and had children, and I wanted to feed the children, so I worked a lot of film and television.
I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again.
When you hear the party that glorified Occupy Wall Street blast success; when you hear them minimize the genius of the men and women who make jobs out of nothing, is that what you teach your children about work?
When my parents force-fed me healthy food, they were confident they were giving me the best. But now, when I feed my children, I am not sure if what I am giving them is safe. Politics and pesticides are destroying our food culture.
Children who plan their own schedules and evaluate their own work build up their brains and learn to take more responsibility.
There is a pent-up demand from people who want to clone their dead children.
If it's taught well, art really is important to kids early on. It helps children develop language and allows them to see themselves in a way that isn't right or wrong, because if they draw an animal with five legs instead of four, nobody's criticizing them for it.
As a former Governor, and more importantly, as a father, I know all too well how protective elected officials are of the special relationships they have with their children.
Lots of people have written to say 'Bake Off' has inspired them to bake with their children. I feel proud about that; it's exactly what I used to do with mine.
Unless I have to, I can't take a job for the money. Unless my children are going to be out on the street, I have to be a little bit picky.
How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.
I'm alive. I have my music; I have my children. I am the luckiest man.
Adult novels are as ephemeral as newspapers. Children's books stay in print for decades.
My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.
Cyrus was observed to have more docility than any of his years and to show more submission to those of an advanced age than any other children, though of a condition inferior to his own.
Germany is in terrible condition this year. This is particularly true of the working masses, who are so undernourished that tuberculosis is having a rich harvest, particularly of adolescent children.
