Welcome to this weeks edition of Sunday Inspiration. The weekend is either too short or too long, depending upon how you look at it but either way we all can agree that tomorrow is Monday. Sometimes we all need a little pick me upper and here I am with this weeks positive quotes; topic is Parenting.

“Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.” – H. Jackson Brown

“The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day.” – O. A. Battista

Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it. ~ Harold Hulbert ~

You have to give them unconditional love. They need to know that even if they screw up, you love them. You don’t want them to grow up and resent you or, even worse, parent the way you parented them. ~ Alfie Kohn ~

If we don’t shape our kids, they will be shaped by outside forces that don’t care what shape our kids are in. ~ Dr. Louise Hart ~

Encourage and support your kids because children are apt to live up to what you believe of them. ~ Lady Bird Johnson ~

In spite of the six thousand manuals on child raising in the bookstores, child raising is still a dark continent and no one really knows anything. You just need a lot of love and luck – and, of course, courage. ~ Bill Cosby, Fatherhood ~

Enjoy your week everyone! Remember to hug your child as much as possible, no matter their age, sure they may shrug you away but inside they are smiling at the affection you provide as a nurturing, loving parent!
