Many communities are forming coalitions trying to get parents engaged in the issue and building communication so they can be mentors in the situation.

Guilt is an issue that we try to deal with. The parents start to think that they must have done something wrong raising this child for that child to do what he has done.

There are so many kids that I admire and have had the privilege of coaching. There have been such great parents and it has been an outstanding experience for me. The kids have all been respectful, good sports and the parents are very supportive. I have been very fortunate to have the experience of coaching at Lake Central.

I was just being obedient to what my parents saw in me. I was more interested in the things the women in my family, my mom, grandmother and aunt were all about: homemaking and cooking and housekeeping. I wanted to be a housewife and mom.

I was lucky growing up, ... I had two wonderful parents who helped me and supported me through my whole career. And I went through high school with normal friends and people treating me like a normal kid. That's the way I want to be. I don't want to be like on a plateau with stars. I want to enjoy life like it should be, with my friends.

Kids are exposed to this at incredibly early ages, when their brains are going through profound developmental changes. This has caught parents off guard. (Porn) has always been there, but it's always been in a lower volume.

Kids are constantly playing jokes on parents, and parents are thinking, 'If I could just get them back.' It's fantasy fulfillment for adults. We target it toward adults, but kids will want to watch, too.

Kilpatrick is young, but he can be educated. We have to do everything we can to be supportive of him, even in bad times. If our parents had given up on us, where would we be? I think he's a role model for the kids.

Kids will get home and nag their parents to death about getting a smoke detector,

Kids should know not to listen to people who ask for directions, need help finding a pet or say that their parents are in trouble. If the person really needs help, they'll ask another adult.

Kids need good instructors. You can't just have parents do it.

Kids have a right to safe food in school, and parents have a right to know what goes on in the school cafeteria. Until now, many parents had to jump through hoops to track down inspection reports. Posting these reports in schools and on the Internet will be a powerful incentive for schools to run clean and safe cafeterias.

Kids get separated from their parents all the time. Had his parents paid attention, this little child would not have wandered off.

Kids for the most part talk to me about parents gossiping about each other and the other kids. I can't think of one kid who didn't know where her parents fit in the parents' social hierarchy.

Kids can figure out ways so that their parents don't find anything on their machine, but Net Threat Analyzer goes back in after the fact where things are easier to detect,

Kids by nature sneak and lie. The wise parent can't rely on just what they're told. There's no question that, for the most part, talking to other parents allows you a control you couldn't have otherwise.

I wouldn't be nearly as ambitious if it weren't for my family. My parents are the coolest parents to have ever parented.

I would suggest that parents want to probably take a look at how much time their kids are spending with media and how much time their kids are spending in other activities,

The evidence is clear from this study that if parents don't want their children to start smoking, it is important for them to stop or reduce their own smoking.

KB hasn't articulated a strategy about what they're doing yet, but need to stock a lot of the hot toys. It isn't really a destination store but the fact that they're mall-based helps because parents are in the mall anyway.

Keith had it a little better than most kids here because he had two parents in the same household who cared about him and loved him, ... It was evident they were involved in his life. He had that going for him. For all his bumps in the road, he had that foundation there to propel him back to where he should be.

Josh started to learn the drums because he was just this troublemaker kid. It was really because my parents wanted to calm him down a bit. Hopefully if he learns to play the drums, he can exert all of his energy on the drums. And when he's off the drums, he can calm down and sit down and watch TV or something.

Judge Lewis has the power to decide whether Katie will be returned to her parents or stay in CPS custody, ... She has been under extreme stress in multiple foster homes since June 4th. She needs to be with her parents, not strangers, during such a critical time.

I talked late, swam late, did not learn to ride a bike until college - and might never have walked or learned to drive a car if my parents hadn't overruled my lack of motivation and virtually forced me to embrace both forms of transportation. I suspect I was happy to sit in a corner with a book.

I think it almost provides comfort for parents to know they have that instant way of communicating with their kids.

It can be a challenge working with volunteers. I cannot fire them when they drive me crazy. But on the other hand, they give me and the shop so much! When my parents died within three months of each other, the Gift Shop?s volunteers gave so much of themselves in love and support. They took great care of me. Volunteers are special people.

It came down to a number of things, but obviously family was big, ... I'm going to be 35 minutes from my son, I'm going to be 20 minutes from my parents and a half-hour from my brother's family.

It brings back positive memories of sitting with parents and siblings. It's a warm and positive association that calls back a point in mastery with the students.

It began in the '70s, when (French winemaking) parents started sending their son or daughter to enology school to learn about wine,

It becomes a learning process. Parents don't know very much about soccer because they don't have a soccer background, so they have to rely on their children, so that increases the level of communication, hopefully, in the family.

It appears to us some folks are trying to minimize the amount of time prior to the start of the Christmas break. And to those that are trying to minimize that time, I invite you to stand up here and openly and honestly share with the parents of this district, why?

It answers questions that parents would be asking me.

I think it's a very powerful tool for parents as well as kids. We know in our society right now that we have some real issues with obesity ... and maybe this will be the insight that will in turn make a difference.

I think it's a parenting issue. I think kids are realizing they can participate with asthma, whereas years ago, parents would pull their kids out of physical activity.

I think the league has lasted this long because it's so community-oriented. A lot of our players have parents and some have grandparents who played in the league. It's like old home week at our games on Saturdays.

I think the parents are now saying, ok, there's a problem, now we need to know what to do to fix it.

I think (the ordinance) is another safeguard for parents, and I'm relieved it was introduced.

I think that parents are supposed to be sexual. Anybody's parents. Even kissing your mate, to kids it's like they don't even want to go there.

It hit me once I was talking to my mom (on the phone), because I walked out onto the field after the game to talk to my parents where it was kind of quiet,

I think the fact the parents are engaged, we're all talking about it, will make this work out very well.

Parents deserve consistency and accuracy when it comes to the state's methods of compiling this important data. As of now, they get neither.

I was concerned when I found out his parents had both gone to Central Michigan and his high school coach had graduated from Central. I knew Central was recruiting him and became very concerned. Brian let me know early on that he was very interested in Western, and he was true to his word. That put my mind at ease that he was going to look at things openly.

I was adopted when I was about a year old. My adopted parents tried, but their marriage was doomed. Music saved my life. I couldn't relate to things in Baton Rouge, but I found songs that spoke to me.

I was certainly disappointed. But I would trade that Oscar for all the positive conversations that this movie spurred between parents and their gay children, or between employees and their gay co-workers. That impact transcends any accolades.

I was an active little kid and I always listened to exciting music. My dad was into Hendrix. I was into T. Rex. My parents bought me a drum kit to make life a bit easier for themselves. It calmed me down and gave me a way to vent my aggression. I taught myself.

I was a 'kid' kid. Even though I experimented with performing at an early age my parents never thought I'd be an actress.

I was a strange, dark little dude. I fell in love with horror movies, at a very early age. Somehow, as a first grader, I was able to convince my parents to let me go see stuff like 'An American Werewolf in London' in theaters, so I was headed in that direction anyway.

It is something that students and parents will have to get used to,

I think we're all, the parents. are naive because we're kind of living in the past and as Boise grows and more people come into our city we need to be a lot more on top of it than the parents are now.

I think we're planning on doing that in the future instead of school assembly, ... We don't lose academic time during the school day for an assembly, and this way it's a lot easier to get the parents and the community involved.

I think we've got parents who are biological but haven't really learned how to parent because they are young or didn't have the best role models growing up. We've got parents with drug issues. I think we've got parents with mental health issues.

I think what you see is nine very proud parents today because this is our baby.

I think all we do here is really help keep them on the path that their parents have already started them on. I just do whatever needs to get done in order to give our student-athletes a quality experience.

I thank my parents and my home area.

It has a lot of integrity. It has served many children. We get feedback from parents that they are happy their children were in Reading Recovery and didn't have to be placed in a long-term program.

I think that this is more real. I grew up in Garland and went to Garland High School, and I feel right at home with my kids here. I look at these kids like they are my kids. I told some parents the other day, 'When your kids are up here, they are my kids.' That the way I feel about it.

I went back to my ex a couple of times, and regardless of how many times you hear from your parents or your best friends or whoever that 'Oh, you should let it go and be over it and let him go. Move past it and find somebody new.' Regardless of the advice that you're given, you kind of have to do whatever makes you happy.

I was visiting my parents, and I walked into a room where my father was watching a Peter Falk movie on TV, ... I think it was 'The Cheap Detective.' Anyway, my father was belly-laughing, and he never really did that. I thought, 'If Peter Falk can make my dad laugh, then I'm going to come up with a movie in which Peter Falk plays my father.'

I watched it for two hours. My wife looked at it, my parents looked at it. Before long, I was firmly convinced that we were dealing with something real.

I was always in love with music, but my parents never really saw that I had talent, and it was really just by chance that I made it into the Menuhin School, and from then on my life changed.

I want to visit my parents graves and see the cherry tree blossom in Japan again.

I was 12 years old when I said goodbye to my family and relatives. I never saw my parents again. I learned they were taken to a camp in Czechoslovakia and my father died there. My mother went to Auschwitz.

I will be speaking in general about balance and perspective in youth sports. It is for parents and coaches who take the game too seriously.

I went with them to the bank that day, ... and my parents were stressed out. They went in there and came out with an envelope and all the money. My brother went and bought a Silver Crown car. He had no clue if he was even capable of driving it.

I was lucky to grow up with parents who just did that. Nothing was thrown away until it was completely spent.

I think they should have let the parents know right away and sent an emergency memo right away.
