Pastoral Resources

I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.

I'm still really close with everyone at home and their parents - and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don't take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it.

I don't blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues.

Remember that I was out of the closet at the age of sixteen. My parents knew I was gay; I'd had to tell them.

The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents, too, who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time.

Midwest kids got to summer camp. There is something very special about being away from your parents for the first time, sleeping under the stars, hiking and canoeing.

I have three sons, a husband, parents, and I'll fight and get angry, but what is very important that I have found as I've matured, is that I have to move on.

Both parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune.

My parents were hippies.

Our parents came home one day and heard us, and they thought it was the radio, but our grandfather told them it was us.

Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it.

The kids like to get pictures of me for their parents. They know how proud I am of them-they have a lot more to worry about than my stardom. They are trying to make good choices for their own lives, but this gives them a little fun. They are part of my family.

The great model of the affection of love in human beings is the sentiment which subsists between parents and children.

A self made man is a rarity and hated by the parasites that floated to fame thought their parents, relatives and contacts.

My parents kept us sheltered from this world of Hollywood. I don't have any great memories of bouncing on Cary Grant's knee or something like that.

The children of believing parents, at least their next and immediate seed, even of us Gentiles now under the gospel, are included by God within the covenant of grace.

These are all voluntary resources which help parents sort out the choices without infringing on the artists' rights to free speech, which is something that we respect.

Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which, left unchecked, can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.

A child who has never fantasized about having other parents is seriously lacking in imagination.

Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.
