It
is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is
able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in
being creative that the individual discovers the self. - Donald Woods
Winnicott
The
child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the
world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not
be, another child like him. - Pablo Casals
The soul is healed by being with children. - Fyodor Dostoevsky
Child
development: Most damaging course of action is attempting to keep
children from experience or protect them from pain, for it is this time
that children learn that life is a magic thing, if "not a rose garden."
The parent's role is primarily to stand by with a good supply of
band-aids. - Leo Buscaglia
Saying we can't afford to invest in early child development means we're storing up bigger costs in the future. - Michael Marmot
Your
children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of
Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and
though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them
your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You
may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the
house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You
may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For
life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. - Khalil Gibran
