- Japanese proverb
*"It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear."
- David Brooks
*"Affection is crucial from the day of birth; it is the basis of life."
- The Dalai Lama
There were so many quotes about our children that I could not just pick one. The Japanese proverb hits me the most, and that's why it is first.
The proverb puts children second behind their emperor. That speaks volumes about where their priorities are. Seems as though they have
caught on to the notion that children are our future and should be treated and represented like that are that important to all of us.
Keisha,
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about raising children with respect. I always wanted to raise my children with love and respect so it would be mutual. Raising them by domination so they fear you just doesn't work. My children and I have a wonderful relationship.
It was great being in class with you. Have a grand Walden adventure!
Hi Keisha,
ReplyDeleteYour quotes are so fitting to this class! My favorite is the one by The Dalai Lama. I have given affection to my children since day one and they still tell me they love me every time we talk or before we hang up the phone. They are not afraid to give hugs in public either!
Hope to see you in a future class!
Your quotes made me think and that is a really good thing. Some people, teachers included, need to read those quotes and learn more about children. We are their only source for how they should grow and learn.
