Home is I suppose just a child's idea. A house at night and a lamp in the house. A place to feel safe.

I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home.

I've been thinking a lot about next year which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

I'm from a small town so like everyone's married with children or about to have children. So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that's why people think I'm gay - because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'

Working in an office with an array of electronic devices is like trying to get something done at home with half a dozen small children around. The calls for attention are constant.

I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.'

Child abuse and neglect offend the basic values of our state. We have a responsibility to provide safe settings for at-risk children and facilitate permanent placement for children who cannot return home.

My real fantasy if I was to drop out would be to live in a mobile home and be a hippie and drive around festivals and have millions of children - children with dreadlocks and nose rings - and play the flute.

Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional psychological growth.

However painful the process of leaving home for parents and for children the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's home.

Teach love generosity good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows the children will be educating the parents.

The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world but as in whispering galleries they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity.

I figure that if the children are alive when I get home I've done my job.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home and broods a nest of sorrows.

I came home every Friday afternoon riding the six miles on the back of a big mule. I spent Saturday and Sunday washing and ironing and cooking for the children and went back to my country school on Sunday afternoon.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

I take my children everywhere but they always find their way back home.

Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent single-parent cohabiting homes.

Basically I believe the world is a jungle and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.

There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them.

Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
