To Dr. Wicks-Ortega & Colleagues,
Thank you all for your very informative thoughts on children. Having an instructor who demonstrates and explain the impotance of your course gives you the strenght and determination to accomplish your goals. It always is a joy for me to know colleagues who are so dedicated to helping children grow and be safe. I want all of you to stay determined, because children are truly our future.

Inspirational Quote for a Child
“Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.”

ReplyDeleteI love your quote. It kinda goes along with Marijan's quote which I thought was great also "Don’t handicap your children by making their lives easy.”
ReplyDeleteI think we are only hurting our children when we make them think life is easy and shielding them from reality like your quote says. I love the reality of the quote.
