Quotes from Early Childhood Education pioneers:
"Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love—staying in love takes longer and demands more work."
~ T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.
"We know that teachers are the key to good child care - and as long as teachers are undervalued, American children, too, will keep getting less than they deserve."
~ Marcy Whitebook, Ph.D.

Hi Christelle,
ReplyDeleteThank you for that lovely quote about attachment from Dr. Brazelton. I will definitely use it some day with my students, with my friends and with my mommy and baby support group. The quote from Helen Keller was also inspirational, as one of my 9 year old daughter's favorite historical characters, I have learned to know a lot about this woman who over came so many obstacles. Great quotes!
Hi Christelle,
ReplyDeleteYour quote by Marcy Whitebook, Ph.D is amazing. This reminds me of the quote that sort of goes like this..."Teaching, the profession that teaches all others" How can society continue to undervalue teachers? We teach all non-professional and professionals how to do their jobs. Sorry I got off on a tangent..lol..Teachers are the very basic foundation to a child's success. Someone other than teachers needs to remember that American child deserve better.
Hi Christelle,
ReplyDeleteI loved the quotes you chose, especially the one by Helen Keller. It is very important for us to be optimistic and have a positive attitude towards life and learning, for us to be successful. Doing this allows us to push ourselves beyond the norms and achieve the supernormal.
