QUOTABLES:

“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.”

“We have to put our children off the pedestal or kick them off the pedestal or the high horse that they sit on and show them the value in the things that we do, the things that we provide, the things that they may have been afforded to have. Because if we don't teach them, life will teach them outside of us.”

“In order for our children to be the best versions of themselves, we have to be the best version of ourselves.”
