Toya - Children are like sponges; always consider what you allow them to absorb. We should consider our children a return on our investment. To expect the best from them we must invest the best in them.

Toya - Being a mother is a blessing, a responsibility and an adornment. We must be grateful to God for it, committed to it and fully clothed in it. As each day begins, tell them you love them, let them know they’re in your sight. Children need to know you’re interested in them, so tell them again each night.

Y'Anna Crawley - The best motherly advice that I would give is to never allow material things to substitute for quality time...it's important that we as mothers are the voice of reason that our children reference, and not a late-arriving echo.

Monica - To mothers of all ages, my only advice would be to love your children with all thoughts of self being second. I do what's best for my children FIRST, and that to me is more rewarding than anything. I know it’s my job to love, nurture, protect and provide for them. And when I've done that, it makes me better as a person, which allows me to be in a better place as an entertainer and artist.
