“Parents are intimidated. Life is moving so fast and there’s so much competition for influencing their children that they’re a little take aback by it. Parents aren’t the only influence in their kids’ lives, so they need to be the best, the loudest, the clearest, and the closest.”

-Dr Phil. Time, September 13, 2007
