Thank you for being a part of my journey and challenging me to think deeper into developing children!
Here are a few of my favorite quotes about early childhood 🙂
Acknowledgement of their feelings is sometimes all they need…
Just like us, they are also individuals…
What kind of mark are you leaving?
Play = Learning

Your quotes brings to mind what it is like to be a child. They have feelings as we all do and they should be viewed as the unique individuals that they are and should be allowed to do what they do best, play.
Thank you for being a part of this educational journey with me. I have learned from your posts and discussions and respect your views and beliefs that you’ve shared with us throughout this course. I wish you continued success in all that you do.

Jenn Faul,
Your quotes are nice. I really like Robert Heinlein’s quote and your question, “What kind of mark are you leaving?” This made me reflect on my current role as a teacher and what kind of mark I am leaving on my students. If I’m not leaving the mark that I want, what can I do to fix it? Thanks for your blogs throughout the course, they were very insightful. I wish you the best of luck in your future courses.

I especially appreciate your quote about the child and feelings. I just read an article recently about adults not allowing children to “feel” because it usually comes across as whiny or bad behavior. But what we are teaching children when we tell them not to cry or be upset is that their feelings are not valid and less important. Thank you for sharing that quote, I plan to use it for my classroom now. Good luck with school!
