“The parenting style that is good for grit is also the parenting style good for most other things: Be really, really demanding, and be very, very supportive.”

“I don't think that every child in America is going to necessarily aspire to, you know, a four-year degree from a liberal arts college or a certain kind of life. I think that people should learn to be excellent in the thing that they choose to do.”

“The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.”

“Some have said that 'Frankenstein' is a story of a bad parenting giving rise to a troubled child.”

“I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived.”
