A quote about children, childhood, families, early childhood, etc. that is especially meaningful to you
“Children are Just Little People”
The title of a children’s book you love and what you love about itA story about a child that touched your heart
In my center a grandmother enrolled her three year old grandson for her seventeen year old daughter. Everyday this little boy would hit another child or a teacher, and every time this occurred we reminded him that hitting is not playing, and his friends did not want to be hit.
He would respond while crying loudly “I just want to love you “. We would hold him and give him kind and reinforcing words of encouragement.
　 When milk is spilled for an adult it is just an accident, but a child might be admonished for the same spill.
We must understand that what ever we as adults experience emotional children have the same emotional experience as well.
“The Little Engine that Could”
Is one of my all time favorite books, it demonstrates to a child that nothing to unattainable when you try.
