The world knows how to straighten out a spoiled child but never makes it up to a
child deprived. ~Robert Brault
This is one of the quotes regarding childhood that I truly beieve in. I believe it also embodies the spirit of Early Childhood Education. Not only do we now know that there is a critical time of brain development for young children but the field is also focusing more and more on the aspects and implications of a child's social development. All of this plays an such an important part in the growth of a child and if they not nurtured as well as given opportunities to grow and develop cognitively while they are young we, as a society, will nevery be able to give those opportunities to them again.
I also love the quote from Walt Disney below that I have on my blog. I am definitely a person that believes we can not give up the fun of life for the seriousness that life can often times bring.
