Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years scold them. By the time they turn sixteen treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

I have a fantastic wife and not only in terms of external beauty. Her priority and mine is our children. That is our choice.

The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones - which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones.

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit beauty intelligence the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.

Raising children is a creative endeavor an art rather than a science.

People of art should never get married and have children because it's a selfish experience.
