When I Think of Child Development

“Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.”

 Maya Angelou

This quote reminds me that children even in the worst of situations survive and some by demonstrating the power of resiliency.

If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
DR. JOYCE BROTHERS

This quote reminds me of the importance of teaching children to be empathetic towards others, as they will continue to share this quality as adults.
