{"quotes":[{"text":"Are You a Parent or a Bully? Mentally and physically abusing your children is NOT okay. Real parenting does NOT consist of bullying your children, belittling your children, manipulating your children, beating your children, or cursing at your children. Children are a blessing! Many women can’t get pregnant and/or carry to term. Think about that! Parenting should be taken seriously. Children need LOVE, support, and guidance, NOT a bully! Children shouldn’t fear their parents. It’s important to create healthy relationships with your children, seriously.","author":"Stephanie Lahart","tags":["bullying","parenthood","parenting","parenting-advice","parenting-children","parenting","parents-and-children","parents-who-bully-their-child","parents-who-bully-their-children","stephanie-lahart","stephanie-lahart"],"id":530,"author_id":"Stephanie+Lahart"},{"text":"Of course our most important role as a parent is to have our children know that they are loved and worthy.
