Number one, I gave my kids the choice of a nap for one hour or 60 minutes.

They always picked one hour because one is less than 60.

If you want to cry over nothing, you can sit in the cry chair and cry as long as you want to.

but I'm not gonna engage with you while you're sitting in the cry chair.

Whenever you're done crying, you can get up.

It's not a timeout chair, it's just a cry chair.

When potty training, if your child potties in the potty, they get a Skittle or an M&M, but if you have to change the diaper, you get the treat.

It works like a charm.

I told my children that the DVD player in the car only worked on very long road trips.

I think we're parenting.

I made sure that they knew that anytime they brought home a sad face from school, they had to write their teacher an apology note.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

She walks over, without hesitation, slowly spits into his water glass.

She was like, I was just adding more water to it.
