2 " Being a good parent requires being an outstanding sales person. Direct communication and motivating our children, or young adults with our ideals isn't easy. It's a lifetime job and job of a lifetime. "
3 " We pretend that we know our children, because it's easier than admitting the truth--from the minute that cord is cut, they are strangers. It's far easier to tell yourself your daughter is still a little girl than to see her in a bikini and realize she has the curves of a young woman; it's safer to say you're a good parent who has all the right conversations about drugs and sex than to acknowledge there are a thousand things she would never tell you. "
― Jodi Picoult , Change of Heart
4 " If you want to be a good parent please heal your own wounds, heal all of them and be confident that you’ve done so before you seriously consider having children. The unresolved child within you is the real child you need to embrace and heal and raise. "

5 " If you want to be a good parent then be a great leader. You should live a life with passion for someone and something.

Rather, it should be how grateful you are to a God that believes fairytales can come true because they came true for you. "
― Shannon L. Alder
6 " Maybe being a good parent is about improvisation and spontaneity. Maybe it's about genuinely being with your kid. Sometimes though, it is also about being able to catch sick in yours hands. "
7 " Sometimes being a good parent is admitting that you weren't a perfect parent. "
8 " Being a good parent is not an obligation, it is a choice. Plenty of people fall short in the parent category and quite a few refuse to accept it. You will do a much better job if you understand that taking care of your children is a choice not an obligation. "
― Gudjon Bergmann , Empowerment Basics
9 " A good editor can make a respectable writer remarkable, just like a good parent helps a child become amazing. "
― Justin Alcala
10 " Anyone could father a child. But a good parent puts his child's needs before his own. A parent should be selfless not selfish. "
― Penelope Ward , Playboy Pilot
11 " Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates. "
12 " When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs. "
13 " I always knew I wanted to have children. When I met my husband, Rande, I thought, 'This is the guy.' When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs. "
