When I Think of Child Development …

The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmoshere pleasant and let the air out of the tires.  --- Dorothy Parker


We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. ~Franklin P. Jones

 


“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future”


Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

I Like this quote I dislike this quoteI've come to the frightening conclusioin that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.
