In educating children, the pattern is:

"From within...outward. A rosebud blooms from the pressure outward of inner fulness."

--Dr. S.S. Curry (1885)

"If we were all determined to play the first violin, we should never have a complete orchestra. Therefore respect every musician in his proper place."

--Robert Schumann

Children deserve that respect as well. Are you overlooking a child's unique gifts and talents because you are focused on that first violin position?

"Nothing touches the soul but leaves its impress, and thus, little by little, we are fashioned into the image of all we have seen and heard, known and meditated; and if we learn to live with all that is fairest and purest and best, the love it all will, in the end, become our life."

--Bishop Spaulding

"A good children's book strikes a vibration in the soul that lasts a lifetime. And when a reader or collector achieves maturity and a special sense of values, he may recognize that the best books are really those that children have loved for generations of lifetimes."

--William Targ

From an 1844 literary critic: A children's book should be a "union of the highest art with the simplest form."

a mother's love

I just had a 1921 book show up randomly in my search for a book about John Smith. The title intrigued me: "Why We Should Read Books" by S.P.B. Mais. So I opened it and this caught my eye:

"The object of any man who enjoys life is to share his enjoyment with others."

I would paraphrase a bit--"The object of any mother who enjoys life is to share her enjoyment with her children."

Are you enjoying life?
