These quotes are shared by Robert Rannigan, LPC, to touch, inspire, and motivate moms and dads everywhere to reflect upon what is important in their lives and those of their spouses and children. The role of fathers has been slowly changing over the years. We now expect dads to be more emotionally involved with their kids and–most of all–desire more closeness with them. To do this, men must establish a sense of safety, certainty, and knowing within their own internal environments. Through increased mindfulness and focus, they will then be able to create these very things for themselves, as well as for the families they love.
Grouped by a common theme, “Quotes for Parents” brings words of wisdom, almost daily, from great minds—current and old—into the lives of modern parents (and the rest of us) to nudge them (and us) ever so closer to the mindfulness and self-awareness we should all be practicing every single day.
