“Building a family is similar to building a house. You begin with a vision and a plan. Then you'll lay a solid foundation. You progress step by step. If you skip a step, you must redo your makeup, which is more difficult than doing it "right" from the start. We can't go back in time when it comes to parenting. We must begin now, where we must do the right thing.”
― Elaine D.

“Parenting today is very different from what our parents or grandparents experienced. Some of us may recall growing up in a home where Dad was present, and his word was law.”
― Elaine D.

“Furthermore, raising healthy children is far more critical and effective than later correcting bad behavior.”
― Elaine D.

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
