Hilary Clinton's quote is very inspiring because it puts the needs of children and families first. Great quote.
ReplyDeleteI love the comment by Hilary Clinton! What a powerful message to our government with regards to children and families!
ReplyDeleteI also love the quote by Maria Montessori about never helping a child with a task they feel they can be successful with! That is so true with my own children. I find when they are in that 2 year old stage when they want to do everything themselves, that if I offer to do something for them that they can do on their own, they get mad!! :) I also find that when I offer to help with something I know they can do, they'll let me do it over and over again and forget that they can do it on their own! Then it's like we have to teach it over again!!
Nice post!!
I enjoyed that quotes from Maria Montessori. I admire her work and after spending time in a montessori classroom I have trying to bring more and more of it into my own. I especially liked that quote about when to help a child. We need to know when to take a step back and let children succeed on their own and when they need a little guidance.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the quotes, one that I agree on is Hillary's! It is vital that we have the suppport on the government when it comes to educating the students.
