How to use parental in a sentence?

1. Liz Gumbinner:

   Use parental controls on your devices; set limits on what they can and can't see -- and be really honest and open about it, let them know what you are doing and why. If you start talking to your kids early about tech, they'll understand you're making decisions in their best interests.

2. Eric Bettinger of Stanford University:

   The results suggest that even older students in middle or elementary school could use guidance from their parents, for years, we have known that parental presence is extraordinarily important in the very early childhood years. What we’re finding is that parents continue to be important much further along in a child’s life than we had previously thought.

3. Elizabeth Perrin:

   Glenn Youngkin's victory showcases the Commonwealth's desire to elect a public servant instead of a political servant, what we have seen is the importance of family values and parental rights in our education system.

4. Nicole Neily:

   This is too little too late from this Administration, which has made abundantly clear through its actions that it views actual parental input as an inconvenience; let’s remember, this is the same set of bureaucrats that coordinated for weeks with the National School Board Association on its since-retracted letter which cited the Patriot Act, the organizations hand-picked to participate do not speak for the views of most American parents; if they did, we would not have seen such a groundswell of activism over the past few years. Families came to the sobering realization that groups like the National PTA were as ideologically compromised as the elected officials that abandoned our children. I would have hoped the Biden Administration would realize the importance of bringing many perspectives to the table - but I am not surprised that other voices are not welcome.

5. Chris Christie:

   We need to focus on school choice, and parental choice, and parental involvement.
