Every parent is an artist, for the bared canvas of a newborn’s soul begs for the artist’s touch. And because this is so, a parent must prepare the palette with the utmost care, choose the brushes with poised caution, and mindfully attend to every brushstroke regardless of how slight. And such caution is utterly imperative for the emerging rendering will be both a legacy borne of the parent, and a life lived by the child. Craig D. Lounsbrough
About This Quote

A parent is an artist for each child it creates is a masterpiece. It cannot be rushed; each line must be drawn carefully. The child will not only bear the parent’s name, but it will also take on the qualities of the parent. If the parent is harsh or abusive, the child will grow up to be too. If the parent is soft and caring, the child will grow up to be just that way.
