There is no power on earth like unconditional love. If you offer that to your child you’re 90 percent of the way home. There may be days when you don’t feel like it – it’s not uncritical love; that’s a different animal – but to know you can always come back, that is huge in life. That takes you a long, long way. And I would say that every parent out there that can extend that to their child at an early age, it’s going to make for a better human being.
