It's never been more important to teach your children well.
What America needs today are parents w ho don’t just s ay they value these virtues but who live them and passionately and boldly teach them to their children. It’s up to me and you and every parent in America to make the necessary changes to give our children the opportunity to change the world. We do that by instilling good character traits in them so that they will be capable of being the adults our world needs.

What Legacy Will You Pass Down To The Next Generation
“After being a parent for twenty years, I have come to believe that the most important thing for parents to decide more important than bottle or breastfeeding, more important than co-sleeping or sleep training, and even more important than whether to put your child in day care or become a stay-at-home parent is what values are important to your family and how you will go about instilling those values in your children.”
