"Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves, and each time that we try to teach them something too quickly, we keep them from reinventing it themselves."
('The Century’s Greatest Minds,' Time, 1999)
“Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”
Dr. Seuss, author
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) French philosopher and poet. Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.
Walt Disney
Children need models rather than critics.
These are some quotes about children that I feel can be related to how important a child's development is. The quotes also give a look into how children learn for example, modeling.

Chawanda,

Chawanda, nice quotes. I love the quote by Dr. Seuss. He is one of my favorites! I love the quote by him that says, "Today you are you. That's true than true." Everyday, we are who we are. It hard trying to portray being someone else and trying to make everyone else happy, when we are not happy ourselves. You are an inspiration. You have overcome obstacles that others would have not overcome so well. You never gave up, despite issues in your life. You truly have a testimony!
Your post were always good and heartfelt. I can tell you love the field you are in and you are adamant about learning other information to better yourself.
I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors! Take care!
Thank you for the cool quotes Chawanda! I don't think I will forget the one about cement! I can't wait to use it!
I appreciate all you have offered in your posts and in your blog. I hope we continue to study and share together!
