[Quote No.14969] Need Area: Friends > Children
"If I were asked what single qualification was necessary for one who has the care of children, I should say patience - patience with their tempers, with their understandings, with their progress. It is not brilliant parts or great acquirements which are necessary for teachers, but patience to go over first principles again and again; steadily to add a little each day; never to be irritated by willful or accidental hindrance." - Francis de S. Fenelon

[Quote No.14970] Need Area: Friends > Children
"One of the most valuable habits a parent can have is that of explaining. Many parents think their children are too young to understand explanations, yet it is surprising how much a child will absorb if he is given a chance. And even if he does not understand completely, he will at least sense that someone cares enough to explain." - Elizabeth R. Hogan

[Quote No.14973] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Whether it is for good or evil, the education of the child is principally derived from its own observation of the actions, words, voices, and looks of those with whom it lives. The friends of the young, then, cannot be too circumspect [careful] in their presence to avoid the least appearance [example] of evil.
" - Bishop John Jebb

[Quote No.14977] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Children are given to us - on loan - for a very short period of time. They come to us like packets of seeds, with no pictures on the cover and no guarantees. We do not know what they will look like, act like, or have the potential to become. Our job, like the gardener's, is to meet their needs as best we can: to give proper nourishment, love, attention, and caring..." - Katharine Kersey

[Quote No.15468] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Barbara Bush's Family Reading Tips 1. Establish a routine for reading aloud. 2. Make reading together a special time. 3. Try these simple ways to enrich reading aloud with your children: --Move your finger under the words as you read. --Let your child help turn the pages. --Take turns reading words, sentences or pages. --Pause and ask open-ended questions such as, 'How would you feel if you were that person?' or 'What do you think might happen next?' --Look at the illustrations and talk about them. --Change your voice as you read different characters' words. Let your child make up voices. --Keep stories alive by acting them out. 4. Ask others who take care of your children to read aloud. 5. Visit the library regularly. 6. Let your children see you reading. 7. Read all kinds of things together. 8. Fill your home with opportunities for reading. 9. Keep reading aloud even after your children learn to read." - Barbara Bush

"The psychological realities, which affect human beings most profoundly are rather simple and can be grasped at an early age. Affection knows no grade level; fear is as much fear in the fourth grade as it is in college. The little child knows what it is to be disappointed, to feel the disapproval of others, and to feel disapproval of self, with much the same basic psychological meaning as are experienced by the postgraduate student." - Arthur T.

"Education does not commence with the alphabet; it begins with a mother's look, with a father's nod of approbation, or a sign of reproof; with a sister's gentle pressure of the hand, or a brother's noble act of forbearance; with handfuls of flowers in green dells, on hills, and daisy meadows; with birds' nests admired, but not touched; with creeping ants, and almost imperceptible emmets; with humming bees and glass beehives with pleasant walks in shady lanes and with thoughts directed in sweet and kindly tones and words to nature, to beauty, to acts of benevolence and to deeds of virtue...

[Quote No.15758] Need Area: Friends > Children
"Enthusiasm is the dynamics of your personality. Without it whatever you may possess lies dormant: and it is safe to say that nearly every man has more latent power than he ever learns to use. You may have knowledge, sound judgment, good reasoning faculties; but no one - not even yourself - will know it until you discover how to put your heart into thought and action. When a man dies, if he can pass enthusiasm along to his children he has left them an estate of incalculable value." - Thomas Alva Edison
