Quotes

I chose these three quotes because I feel they describe my view of child development because

1.       We worry about what a child will become tomorrow yet we forget that he is someone today. By Stacia Tauscher ~ this quote makes me think of the psychosocial development of a child. The parent sometimes gets wrapped up in the child “growing up…” they forget to enjoy the moment. They don’t take time to see what is developing right in front of them.

2.       Imagine with all your mind. Believe with all your heart. Achieve with all your might.                        I know that in children ages 2 to 5 they spend most of their awake hours creating, imagining and learning new skills. They are always curious and wanting to learn something. They imagine it, they believe that they can do it. And they will achieve it if not told they cannot do it.

3.       Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don’t expect to see. This quote makes me think of emotional development; how children learn to express themselves. They come with a clean slate and don’t judge. They put everyone on an equal playing field. They do not judge, and as adults we sometimes put our feeling and prejudges on children.

Just stop taking it all at once…..Take it one day at a time…one action at a time!!!
