Sometimes quotes are words of inspiration that keep you going on your worst days.
"The most important thing is to enjoy your children, to love them, be fair and just with them. If you do that they're pretty likely to come out all right." Abigail Eliot
I love this quote because it's so true. Sometimes if you can't get a child to do something it may be because they just need reasurrance that they are loved.
"Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deeply." T. Berry Brazelton
I like this one because sometimes kids say I don't like you, or your mean, but when they get older they will realize WHY you did things that you did.
Louise Derman Sparks - "teaching made me feel whole, made me feel creative... passion that all children were taught in environments that truly nurtered the children to grow and to learn in the fullest of their ability."\
I love this because this is how you should feel. I love how she played teacher instead of with her toys.
Hi Shanda,
ReplyDeleteI love your quotes especially the quote of Abigail Eliot. Children are our job and without passion for them, we can not be fully satisfied.
However the second quote kind of confused me of course careless parents will always make mistakes and parents that care too much will avoid mistakes as much as possible. I just do not understand why the quote had the part that said "Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care". Could you please help me understand this? Thank you.

Hey Shanda great quotes. My favorite one is the one by Abigail Eliot. I agree strongly with her that if you enjoy your children the rest will turn out great.
