Mary Jo, I enjoyed reading all of your quotes. I especially enjoyed the second quote posted by Louise Derman-Sparks. I too used this quote. While watching the media presentation, I really enjoyed her passion and motivation to help children and could really relate to her work.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful quotes.. I especially loved the one by Virginia Buysse. It's always great to help children, but we must first find out what they need. Fix the foundation first then we can start the process to heal.
