The truth about children…

In my opinion is that,

They are spontaneous

They are full of life

They are innocent

They are genuine

They are light                                                                        

They are open

They are NOT as dependent on adults as we may think

They are VERY capable

They need to experience it  for themselves to genuinely learn

Children are NOT robots – they do not always act on your instruction,

They test – EVERYONE, they need to work out their limits and boundaries with each individual

They will not show respect if you don’t

They need eye contact

They need reassurance – they do not need banter

They need clear instruction, not fuzzy

They need compromise, gentle conversation & YOUR TIME
(Once involved in a game all focus is there… so much more intriguing than the TV)

Authentic presence by their family and peers is essential,

as is love and security

Time is not important to children, as they live in the moment.

They are our teachers….
