One important lesson is this: It is okay to try and fail at something, but it isn't okay to not try. Parents need to encourage their kids, and it all starts in the home.

With breast cancer, it's all about detection. You have to educate young women and encourage them to do everything they have to do.

You'd be sending home parents who brought kids here when they were 2. Do you leave the kids here with the neighbors for 10 years? That's not a very conservative position in my view.

I'm convinced there is an incredible advantage for kids who are raised in a home where they can be totally confident that Mom and Dad love each other

We think that kids are better off with their parents if they can remain safely in their home. What we had before us in 2004 was an allegation of neglect. It was investigated. It was substantiated and the family was provided services.

There are a lot of parents who are home-schooling or cyber-schooling their kids now who won't know what they are going to do for next year.
