Enlarge Your Child's World
There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all. - Jacqueline Kennedy
Challenges
If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is teach their children to love challenges. - Carol Dweck
A Child's Pace
When we trust a child's pace, we give them something far more valuable than success. We give them ownership of their own growth. - Iben Sandahl
Experience Boredom
Let your kids experience boredom. There is nothing healthier for a child than to learn how to use their own interior resources to work through the challenges of being bored. - Dr. Nicholas Kardaras
Movement
Children move because movement gives them a tremendous lift, a sense of freedom, exhilaration akin to flying high above the waters, above the clouds, above the earth and into the sky. - William M. Logan and Virgil G. Logan
Fingerprints
It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall will appear higher and higher, and then suddenly they disappear. - Dorothy Evslin
Through a Child's Eyes
If we experienced life through the eyes of a child, everything would be magical and extraordinary. Let our curiosity, adventure and wonder of life never end! - Akiane Kramarik
Peace in Nature
I think the greatest gift we can give children is the confidence to go out into the woods, jump in the lake, climb that tree, and just feel at peace out there. - Julie Cantrell, Into the Free
Childhood
Childhood is not preparation for life; childhood is life. A child isn't getting ready to live; a child is living. - John A. Taylor
Feeling Safe
If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow. - Alfie Kohn
Take Home
What children take home in their heads and hearts is much more important than what they take home in their hands. – Bev Bos
Today
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. - Stacia Tauscher
Cherished
Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them. – Richard L. Evans
Change the Course
A simple act of encouragement and faith in a child can change the course of their lives. - Joy Vega
Play
Children play. Wherever we find children, we find play. They pretend. They try on life. Play is as natural to children as eating and sleeping. It is a fundamental force in growing. - Geraldine Brain Siks
Listening for Stories
Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole. - Eudora Welty
Music
Music enhances the education of our children by helping them to make connections and broadening the depth into which they think and feel. If we are to hope for a society of culturally literate people, music must be a vital part of our children's education. - Yo-Yo Ma
