When I Think of Child Development...

Then I wish all of these quotes could come true for our children:

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul- Mahatma Gandhi.

Children must be taught how to think, not what to think- Margaret Mead.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough book shelves- Anna Quindlen.

Children are made readers on the laps of their parents- Emilie Buchwald.

Nothing you do for children are ever wasted- Garrison Keiller.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men- Fredrick Douglass.

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children- Nelson Mandela.

Those who educate children well are more to be honoured than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well- Aristotle.

  4. I love this quote,Children are made readers on the laps of their parents- Emilie Buchwald.

    Reading to your child, teaching them vocabulary, just spending time with them with distractions, forming positive attachments, just speaks on so many levels.

    Toluwalope, I want to say thank you to you for your postings in this class. You always found new information that showed me new ideas and concepts. Your discussions were always very informative and in depth. I wish you well in the Field of Early Childhood and in your studies.
