About this Quote

Betty Ford's quote suggests that moms and dads have a restricted amount of time to make an influence on their children. She believes that God offers moms and dads their kids up until they reach the age of eighteen, and if parents have actually not had the ability to make their points to their children by then, it is too late. This quote indicates that moms and dads should make the most of the time they have with their kids and ensure to instill the worths and lessons they want their kids to discover. It also suggests that parents need to be mindful of the messages they are sending out to their children and know the effect their words and actions have on their kids. Eventually, Betty Ford's quote serves as a reminder to parents to make the most of the time they have with their kids and to be deliberate in the way they raise them.
