Bartletts, or else my search technique, has failed me. The quote I am looking for is, “If the people lead, the leaders will follow,” and it came to mind yesterday when Parents Forum board and friends gathered yesterday to mark Respect for Parents Day.
I think we need to begin by respecting ourselves as parents and supporting each other more consistently. Take a look at

Deb Coppins, founder of Our Starting Point, has the right idea: We need to make parenting education a priority, speak up for it and for ourselves. I hope you agree and if you do, I’d like to hear from you. I’d like to hear, too, if you know the origin of the quote!
thanks for shearing this tips. so its very very important for us.
Dear Mostafizar,
Your message is very heartwarming! Thank you so much for writing. Please let us know where you geographically (send directly to eve@parentsforum.org) and, especially, if you would like to organize a Parents Forum group with others in your community. We have to help each other. Nothing is more difficult than raising children, not even rocket science!
All good wishes and hoping to hear from you,
Eve
