As I look at the above quotes and reflect on this course--it makes me grateful to be apart of the lives of many different children. We have what seems to me a small part...yet, such a powerful influence on each little person in some form or another. My personal favorite quote is "Children are not children of the future--but of today--and what we do today will affect their future." It makes me want to be ever so careful of the "seeds" that I sow in them.

Hi Lelabug,
ReplyDeleteI liked all the quotes you posted. I especially liked the third one. It is so true that there are millions of wonders in a child's eye. Isn't it a wonderful experience when a child discovers one of those wonders and you helped made for it clear for them.
