“Some have said that 'Frankenstein' is a story of a bad parenting givin...” — Dave Morris Quote

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

Readers prefer a world they can relate to.

Have confidence in your strengths, dear writer, or give it all up now and create apps instead.

There is a great insatiable hunger for good stories throughout the media.

As we get older, we demand stories that go somewhere. Things must change.

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.

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.

The science can tell you that the thousands of pseudo-scientific parenting books out there - not to mention the 'Baby Einstein' DVDs and the flash cards and the brain-boosting toys - won't do a thing to make your baby smarter. That's largely because babies are already as smart as they can be; smarter than we are in some ways.

The children who are 'our future' will inherit a world created not just by parental devotion but by the sort of zealous, focused endeavors that can preclude good parenting.
